Gnus has a variable to format the mode line, it is
`gnus-group-mode-line-format'. If more major modes had that, the
main variable `mode-line-format' wouldn't get so ugly...

But it is only ugly when looking at the code. Then it works
great. The code itself isn't particularly tricky, either, it is
just ugly with all the branching and references to all the
different modes...

It will be part of diary and appointments. I'm not a user of
either but it seems diary is built-in, so yes, any improvements
to that will be part of core Emacs. appointments I cannot find
in either core Emacs or by searching the [M]ELPAs, but whatever
it is and wherever you found it, rest assured, that's were the
improvements will go :)
