Have you posted about these problems on the Gnus mailing list?  What
do you mean by "isn't maintained"?

I'll assume you refer to spam processing with "it" above.

I am currently the maintainer of that code, and welcome discussion on
this topic in the Gnus mailing list.  I've had help from many sources
to improve the documentation and the work continues.

Could you please point out specific problems or propose an alternate
documentation layout or customization system, because I just don't
know what "good enough" means?  As far as I know, nothing as complex
and powerful as the Gnus spam processing exists for other MUAs, which
may be part of the problem.

Thanks
