I picked up the qsort patch from Brian while reading the list
via gmane's newsfeed and applied it without realizing that it
was one of the articles whose addresses on all the address
header fields _and_ all strings that look like e-mail addresses
have been mangled by gmane.  Sign-offs by Dscho and Steffen

FYI,

Emacs Gnus + news.gmane.org gives access to raw articles with single
command. Suppose cursor is at thread start "!"

Pressing "C-u g" will display the unmodified article as seen by mail
transport. Running git's apply command can be automated pretty easily
from there.
