Looks good to me, thank you! For my amusement I rebuilt Emacs without
SVG support and it correctly fell back to the xpm file.

I think it's fine to leave the copyright information etc just as it is
in gnus.svg. Maybe let's give it a day in case a maintainer wants to
chime in, but I'd expect it's fine as-is.

Thanks,
Eric
