Severity: wishlist

See the defcustom `gnus-picon-databases` and related code.

This seems to owe to an early-web experiment from, by the looks of
things, 1997:

    "picons" is short for "personal icons". They're small, constrained
    images used to represent users and domains on the net, organized
    into databases so that the appropriate image for a given e-mail
    address can be found. Besides users and domains, there are picons
    databases for Usenet newsgroups and weather forecasts. The picons
    are in either or both monochrome XBM and color XPM formats, plus a
    GIF format.

Is this feature still relevant in 2025?  Should it be obsoleted?
