   FWIW, when I designed the nndiary backend, I split functionality
between core features and convenience stuff, in respectively nndiary.el
and gnus-diary.el. Technically, gnus-diary is not needed to use nndiary,
so I though of it as a user-level layer, hence the choice of a C-c
prefix. I'm not strongly opposed to changing that though.

  We does this binding bother you (I mean, apart from the C-c part) ? If
that's because there are only two key bindings right now, so you would
like to remove the prefix altogether and just bind g-d-c-m somewhere
else, then I'm opposed to this change. I want to keep a whole prefix for
gnus-diary, so that I don't interfere or risk a conflict with another
library in the future.
