I know the WNPP package; I reported this to gnus because I think it
might be sensible not to make a separate package and instead include 
starttls directly in gnus. Reasons:

 - It's quite small, there will likely be more packaging overhead than
   code

 - It's of absolute no use without gnus. It doesn't even contain
   information on how to use it
   
 - WNPP has *a lot* of RFP bugs. I hoped that the gnus maintainer
   might be interested in the program.

That said, I'll of course fill a WNPP bug if aren't interested or if
it's technically bad to include it directly in gnus.
