I've applied the patch and retried my original reproducer; it passes the
test! So it seems useful to me already in the current form, thank you!
Another thing that could be nice for the future would be some way for
the user to customize the gnus-posting-styles used by Debbugs. That way
I believe you could modify its behavior only for some particular
"group", e.g. when sending to 'guix-patches'; but that seems trickier
to implement.
So I think the solution you propose is satisfactory!

Thanks,
Maxim
