I am semi-actively supporting it for a few people around the net
who've asked me to get it to do this-or-that for them.  I was planning
on releasing a new gnus-user-tale.el in a couple of weeks that dealt
with this wishlist of mine:

a forward function for GNUS.
================
modifiy GNUS to check for #.newsrc#.
================
modify GNUS to look for a followups file or variable to auto-direct
replies to the right place if none is there.  (Original idea c/o
amanda@intercon.com (Amanda Walker))
================
Hack GNUS's signature mechanism to allow more variety, easily and automatically
================
Kludge around hardcoded C-h crud in people's messages.
================
Find out how come GNUS doesn't like =group in active file.
================
Retrieving articles from a newsgroup with GNUS, something in addition
to gnus-large-newsgroup is needed.  ranges/specific article num would be nice.
================
Change GNUS to make .newsrc a hidden buffer.
================
Fix up the sort call in gnus-save-newsrc-assoc to do a copy-sequence first.
================
Make gnus-signature-file buffer local
================
Make GNUS ignore null followup-to field.
================
Add a "finger author" feature to GNUS
================
GNUS catch-up-group-and-exit -- see if should select next group automatically.
================
Don't have GNUS put in Followup-To: automatically, ever.
================
Bag most of the Distribution: stuff; it is misleading because most
people don't know how broken that header line is.
================

Are there any plans to modify GNUS to use the XHDR NNTP command?  (Or
has anybody modified GNUS to do so?)
================
Figure out mysterious bug where point in *Subject* window sometimes
ends up on a random other line when an article is selected.
================

Some of these have already been done, some haven't.  I'm not sure yet
when I'll feel comfortable with releasing it, but hopefully before the
end of the month.
