> Could you define what exactly you mean with themes in context of emacs/gnus?

A named collection of customization settings.

For example, you may select the `slow connection' optimization theme,
which will set the relevant Gnus options to work optimally for a slow
connection.  Or the `Angry Fruit Salad' color theme, which would make
the headers in the message and article buffers more fun to watch, than
the default current `Shades of Purity' theme (red/red article buffers,
blue/blue message buffers).

Users should be able to define themes from within customize, and
export them for other to share.  

Site administrators would define a `site' theme, which the users could
use or not.  This is the part Jan has implemented.
