IMHO it's easier to do these actions from the MUA (Gnus) than from the lower level of message-mode. I could be wrong, though, and see my caveat below.

A full Gnus backend would, instead of creating an ephemeral group for the bug, provide the usual facilities for listing, reading, and creating articles that mirror bugs. I think this is valuable. OTOH not everyone wants to use Gnus, but everyone can use message-mode. So this is useful to only some people--is it worth the effort to discuss and develop it? Ted
