Thanks for the feedback. I've applied the patch to the GNU ELPA
repository, and released debbugs 0.37. Shall be visible in a couple of
hours.

Further changes might be possible. But as you've said it is more
complex, because some of the settings in gnus-posting-styles must be
preserved. So we'll better wait for further requests if any.

Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
