A few years ago I inquired about Kerberos authentication for Gnus IMAP and
at the time it was concluded that it had originally worked, but did not
work anymore.

Since then I was waiting for the dynamic module support to land in Emacs so
that I could implement native GSSAPI support and then modify Gnus to take
advantage of it. I now decided to start looking at this.

While implementing this i rediscovered the existence of ‘gssapi.el’ in the
Gnus directory and I noted that it has a copyright year of 2017. That
suggests to me that this file is actually maintained. However, I still do
not see any indication in the Gnus source code that it would be possible to
actually use this with Gnus.

Before I sink any more time into implementing native GSSAPI support in
Emacs, could anyone explain to me what the current state of this is, and if
it might actually be possible to get this to work without me having to
write a lot of new code?

Regards,
Elias
