Argh, stupid me!  Ok, now I did that with the right address, did M-x
gnus-group-describe-all-groups RET, and those are all Quimby groups I
got described:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
11 matches for "Quimby" in buffer: *Group*
   2026:      *: nntp+Quimby:local.general Local general group
   2216:      *: nntp+Quimby:control.cancel Cancel messages (no posting)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

These are still not all groups, and the nameless group, the group 215,
and "." don't look correct.  And the description 'Descriptions in form
"group description"' pretty much looks like a parsing issue.
