spam-report-gmane-regex is consulted only when spam-report-gmane is
invoked.  To invoke it, you have to activate the
gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane spam exit processor.
Customize the variable gnus-spam-process-newsgroups (you could also do
it with group/topic parameters but you already said you can't).

Not at all, I appreciate feedback and suggestions.  I know spam.el is
a bit intimidating to new users, and will try to put some useful
novice info in the manual in time for Gnus 5.10.
