I think we're just waiting for someone familiar with Gnus to take a look
at it.

Eric, or someone else who knows Gnus, could you please review this
patch?

All of us are volunteers here, so it's unfortunately not guaranteed that
we can get to patches in anything that resembles a timely manner.  We
also don't have too many Gnus hackers on board.  While we do our best, I
can unfortunately only recommend patience here.

Please feel free to ping us again if there has been no progress within
another 1-2 months or so.  Ideally, this will be reviewed by someone
familiar with Gnus, but if it comes to it, I could take a cursory look
and push it if nothing stands out as obviously incorrect.

Thanks again for the patch, and for trying to move things forward.
