So, um, one of its shortcomings, it should be mentioned, it that it
doesn't support groups for a single bug. 'G w debbugs 94697' returns
nothing, not the single bug that should exist. OTOH, the code that
turns a bug report into something Gnus IMHO is a little happier to
deal with than HTML doesn't have a whole lot in terms of nnweb
dependencies (though it does call mml-to-mime to get a MIME message;
what you get out is not necessarily viewable in anything beyond an
article buffer).
And it's not a Gnus backend in and of itself, it's a quick-and-dirty
extension to nnweb. Also worth mentioning. :-)
