AFAICT, all information except title, date, description and
enclosure gets thrown away by nnrss-check-group.  This makes
it impossible to process this information when displaying an
article.

It would be very useful to have this information available.
A very simplistic solution would be to add item to the tuple
that gets pushed to nnrss-group-data by nnrss-check-group so
that it can be accessed via:

| (nth 9 (alist-get
|         (gnus-summary-article-number)
|         nnrss-group-data))

(This method, with 9 replaced by 2 or 6, already allows ac-
cess to "pure" representations of title, URL & Co.)

However it might be prudent to have a more stable inter-
face :-).
