I agree, if you mean that we shouldn't change _Gnus related_ files, in Emacs, to use password.el. Those changes could go into Gnus CVS. I think it may be useful to change some other Emacs packages, like telnet.el, though. I don't use telnet.el, but perhaps there are other packages I use that currently have some ad-hoc password handling code. Incidentally, I realized that password.el could be enhanced with support for netrc.el (i.e., passwords stored in ~/.authinfo), or even storing passwords via customize (in ~/.emacs).
