In _my_ understanding, Richard considers the files in emacs/lisp/gnus
(and the corresponding manuals) as "maintained by the Gnus
developers".  If a file is useful for other Emacs packages and doesn't
depend on Gnus he want it to be moved to a different directory.  (But
I might be misunderstanding him.)
