Yup.  I've added it to the Red Gnus todo list.

We'd need to add a new atom to the score alists -- `(decay-date 435532)'
that says what day the decay thing was done last.  The decay function
should be run once a day, so if you start Gnus after not using it for
four days, perhaps Gnus should decay all scores four times?
