The feature is missing, IMAP ACL editing only work from the group
buffer, it wasn't meant as a IMAP server admin util. You could
probably use `gnus-group-nnimap-edit-acl' as a fundation to build a
`gnus-server-nnimap-edit-acl' (or whatever).

As ACL semantics tend to be defined in almost as many ways as there
are implementations, I'm not sure a new backend function for editing
ACLs would be a better solution -- it would be hard to make it generic
enough to accomodate all ACLs future backends might implement, and
making it match the IMAP semantics seem as much as a workaround as
creating commands which only work for one backend.
