One thing I would have liked, is to get up a buffer of open
connections, similar to what you see when you do `C-x C-c' when you
have open connections, and that you can use to close the open
connections. 

I normally operate Gnus unplugged, and just do short "dives" into
pluggedness to fetch mail and news from various servers, so I only
encounter this when something get stuck during a fetch from somewhere.
