I can't be too strict on this one, since the FAQ currently only exists
in the 1st and 3rd of those two formats.
Conversion to texi has been on my todo list for a very long time.
While it isn't required, it would have a huge benefit: the FAQ could
be checked in to the Gnus distribution. The gnus-faq.texi currently
distributed is so out of date as to be worse than useless. Having a
somewhat up-to-date FAQ in the distribution would be a significant
benefit to users.
While I would really like to see it happen, I will leave that matter
up to the new maintainers.

This sounds like a nearly ideal situation to me: multiple maintainers
working together, using an already well-known site.
I will hand things off to MGO. I will send a separate message to that
group with the necessary details. Robin, does faq@my.gnus.org exist
yet, or should I just send it to webmasters for now?
