I do not think Gnus demiming (that C-u g helps us with) is not
an issue.
Have you tried to look at the article in question? Inside your
Gnus + news.gmane.org, try typing this:
j 7 2 6 9 9 <Enter> C-u g
The last two keystrokes are your "C-u g".
And look at the second line in the buffer, that says:
From: Brian Downing <bdowning-oU/tDdhfGLReoWH0uzbU5w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
and weep X-<.
Then scroll down to find Signed-off-by: lines that are similarly
mangled, and weep more.
Maybe you run a much newer Gnus, and Lars taught "C-u g" to
unmangle them. After all, gmane and Gnus are both his
creations, so it _is_ possible. But somehow I doubt it.
If there weren't gmane address mangling, a quickest way to apply
a gmane patch to commit is:
C-u g | g i t a m - 3 - s <Enter>
For Gnus uninitiated, it reads: show as raw as opposed
to demimed (C-u g), pipe the article to the shell
command (|) that is "git am -3 -s".
But I usually work in batches, so I first C-o (write to file)
the articles to a separate mbox, review and _edit_ them as
needed before running "git am". And C-o does not suffer from
Gnus demiming, so C-u g is not useful in my workflow.
