Wow! Considering I use both programs, I couldn't get much luckier than

Well, not realistically for the next release, but there's a 
long-standing slrn feature request of mine: the ability to specify in 
the score file that all replies to a matching article should receive the 
same score than the article.

IMHO, it's much needed, e.g. for filtering replies to trolls, etc.
