If you use the registry it _might_ (this is all complete speculation) be
possible to add some custom marks to gnus-registry-marks: say "My
Pending Expire" and "My Pending Read". These marks would be meaningless
except that you'd write a custom function that found them and turned
them into the "real" expire and read marks.
I totally made that up; there's any number of reasons why it might not
work...
