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.
