I have two comments about this.

1. I like the idea.  In fact, given a function to save to the dribble, I
   would probably add it to `gnus-select-article-hook'.

2. This could be disastrous `gnus-summary-exit-no-update'.  At least, it
   would be a little difficult.  It would mean that gnus would have to
   remember what the original info of the group was, and append that to
   the dribble on `Q'.

Anyway, I like the idea.  I think that I should look at the code to
`gnus-summary-exit' now so that I can write it.
