> All group names should be utf-8 encoded for the internal use in Gnus

I don't know anything about Gnus, but is this sentence really right?
Gnus is part of Emacs, and Emacs normally doesn't use encoded strings
internally, it only encodes them when it writes them to a file or
sends them to a program.

Did you perhaps mean ``all group names should use characters from the
mule-unicode-* character set''?  That would make sense to me.
