bug#48683: 28.0.50; [PATCH] Feature suggestion gnus-summary-toggle-mark-as-processable

[Alex Bochannek]

(Not sure if bug-gnu-emacs is the right place to send things like this,
please let me know if there is a better list.)

I have been missing a article process mark toggle for a while and would
like to propose the below patch. If "+" is not an appropriate key to use
for this, I am happy to accept an alternative.
