    > Why are these two packages in the gnus/ subdirectory?  

    Well, they were added in the Gnus repository and (most probably) only
    used in Gnus upto now.  I don't have a strong opinion on that.

When Gnus developers want to add general-purpose packages,
please talk about it with me, because they really should
be added at the Emacs level, not as part of Gnus.
I've seen this problem before.
