Thanks for taking this on!
Steve Y is the best to advise you about the time commitment for Gnus
maintenance, but you don't need to be a strong Lisp programmer. As
package maintainer, mostly you need to
- keep abreast of changes in your package,
- of changes in the package infrastructure,
- try to integrate both into your package,
- notify the relevant teams of problems you have, and
- tell the Package Release Engineer when a release is ready.
Since you're not a Lisp programmer (yet? :), the other thing you can
do is LART us if there's a problem that's more an XEmacs problem than
a Gnus problem, but we seem to be ignoring it. Since it's
unreasonable for you to take too much responsibility for those
yourself.
