I think that's a good idea.  I think Gnus should move from the
monolithic .newsrc.eld to a number of files.  Maybe a ~/.newsrc-gnus/
directory would be nice with a number of files in it, named after the
backend?  Superfluous files could be ignored, and Bob would be your
uncle.

Sounds like doable work (though saving info in the right file might be
difficult), if rather tedious.
