We already have a volunteer to do the markup if we decide how these
should be marked up.  :-)

And it's something that would grow progressively better as more stuff is
marked up.  For instance, `M-x gTAB' now shows (and I've quickly
estimated here) 2.42E45 commands.  If gnus*.el was marked up,
`M-x gTAB' would then show (another quick estimate) 4 commands.

And marking up Gnus would take ten minutes at most.
