Thank you for investigating the issue and sending the copy to the
developer list. In the meantime, I somehow used the "server subscribe"
option in Kmail in order to have my folders listed with the LSUB
command. I think that option should map the SUBSCRIBE IMAP command, but
I first tried with Kmail because I saw yesterday that one of my groups
appeared on the gnus listing after playing with that option.

So right now I'm writing from gnus, thank you!
