AIUI, it's using it as its storage backend (for downloaded feed
data, feed info, etc.). So it's not something that can really be
patched out as-is.
Yep, you're right, it is being used.
The storage.py in gwibber has a CouchMessageStore class that is set to
the 'MessageStore'. It seems like it would be fairly simple to
monkeypatch a new backend. However, if "erlang on the desktop" is The
Future, then we may want to get an adoption plan together.
