In a technical sense it will be substantially less work (but probably not nearly as low as half as much work) for whoever does the syncing. However, if you're not going to do the work, you still have to find somebody else to do it. You also have to change the habits of those who are currently active. What the bzr repo will make definitely *much* easier *immediately* is for you to keep your own bleeding edge branch locally, and then push from there to the Gnus mainline when it's "open for commits". You'll need to learn more of bzr than you might otherwise, but it's worth it.
