(Thanks for adding to feedbase!)

There are two questions I am wondering about, one I'll have to reach out
to the author (all items link to the same default.html, rendering the
link useless), the other could be an issue with Gnus or Emacs (feedbase
does seem to send slightly different html; it's still valid, but
Gnus 5.13 somehow does not buttonify/linkify "Link" here, even though it
does in Gmane/Gwene feeds).
