I tried a test-merge and one problem I ran into is that the Gnus trunk
contains a "newer" version of pgg*.el, which has been abandoned by its
author and as I recall was rejected for merging into Emacs.

I'd suggest that the proper thing to do (supported by a previous
discussion on the Gnus developer list) is first revert the version of
pgg in the Gnus trunk to that in the Gnus 5.10 branch, and perhaps wait
a while for any bugs to be fixed before merging the Gnus trunk into
Emacs.

Is there anybody who can do that (revert pgg in the Gnus trunk to the
version in the 5.10 branch, and remove any unneeded files like
password.el)?  I can try to do it myself, but perhaps there are subtle
points of the interface between Gnus and pgg that I'd screw up...

Thanks,
