In (info "(gnus) Summary Buffer Lines")
mention

‘N’
     Article number.

is the Article number sent from the NNTP server or the "gnus mail department"
and could reach into the many thousands.

And then move

‘P’
     The line number.

right after it, saying that it is simply the line number in this buffer
(untested by me).

Gnus v5.13
GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.11)
 of 2019-09-23, modified by Debian

I don't quite get what these have to do with one another, and of course
the line number is the line number in the buffer.  And P is something
most people wouldn't want to use -- if they want line numbers, then
Emacs has that built in on the fringe these days.

So I don't see anything that needs fixing here, and I'm closing this bug
report.
