It isn’t, – the one #18198 is about is that Gnus fails to read
~/.newsrc it produces back; the one you suggest a patch for is
about the (mis)use of ‘read’ in the Gnus IMAP implementation.

I believe that the information regarding (possible) bugs –
including patches – should be sent to the BTS /first./
This way, it’s easier to add late follow-ups, /and/ it still
ends up in a mailing list (the bug-gnu-emacs@ one, that is.)
