That would be:

  Group         gmane.emacs.gnus.general
  Description   Development list for Gnus, the Emacs newsreader

   - http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general

Which corresponds to the ding list, which is the Gnus development
mailing list.

(If the group had been created now, it would have been called
...gnus.devel, but the naming conventions were still being settled in
the beginning of Gmane).


  Best regards,

    Adam

P.S. It is called "Gnus", not "GNUs", nor "GNUS".

Something was called "GNUS" sometimes, because that is
still in some docstrings.

The manual explains this in the History section:

  "GNUS was written by Masanobu UMEDA. When autumn crept up in ’94, Lars
   Magne Ingebrigtsen grew bored and decided to rewrite Gnus."

    - http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_134.html#History (for the rest)

If the 94 spelling is still found in docstrings, they should be updated.
I can't find any, though.

(Surprising that some of the grammar-, punctuation-, and language-police
 of Emacs haven't been all over that yet.)


  Best regards,

    Adam

Here are the interesting cases of "GNUS". Some which
refer to the old GNUS are not incorrect, but are
perhaps outdated anyway.

One example of a docstring is `ispell-message' in

    /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/textmodes/ispell.el

which mentions "GNUS 5" and "GNUS 4".

This is the way I did it with zsh (note: **/* works
differently in bash).

    $ cd /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp  # the Emacs source directory
    $ sudo gunzip **/*.gz            # get the .el files out of compressed source
    $ grep GNUS **/*.el              # grep is case-sensitive

dabbrev.el:;; Example for GNUS (when we write a reply, we want dabbrev to look in
eshell/em-term.el:    "pine" "tin" "trn" "elm")           ; GNUS!!
gnus/nnheader.el:;; been changed from the internal GNUS format to the NOV format.  The
gnus/nnheader.el:;; These macros may look very much like the ones in GNUS 4.1.  They

Ah, I only looked in the Gnus source code.
