I'm really looking forward this.  

I'm using org-mode to integrate my Gnus emails into my workflow.  For
now, I'm just calling `org-remember' in the summary buffer: it adds a
reference to the email in my Org file -- which is fine, most of the
time.  

For me, a better system would be one that lets me add a TODO label to
the email, then let an org-mode task refer to all TODO labeled emails.

I'm quite acquainted with Org.el and could perhaps help in making it
aware of gnus-registry labels.

Good idea.  I'll work on gnus-bookmark this week-end, I let you know if
I need help about the latest functions in gnus-registry.el.

Thanks!
