Do I understand you correctly that if I managed to merge Gnus into an
arch archive of Emacs, you would sync the archive to Emacs CVS trunk?
I've never used tla before. I installed it now and will read some
introductory documentation soon (from wiki.gnuarch.org). It would be
very helpful for me if you could give me a brief (or even better: not
so brief ;-)) description of the necessary steps.

I cannot speak for Lars, but I don't think he would refuse. Lars?
(If Lars agrees on this, I can commit your patches to Gnus CVS).

Apart from the trunk, we have a branch "v5-10" for the 5.10 series.
Probably they should be added in both branches?
Bye, Reiner.
