Well, users of the nnfoo backend shouldn't have to do something
special, so I'd be really happy if they could just type C-c C-c and
not had to set gnus-post-method and stuff.

Didn't you have a way of mapping group parameters to buffer-local
variables?  Isn't there a way to set gnus-post-method that way?

But I fear that the steps group parameters to summary buffer variables
to message buffer variables might be one too many.

Right now, I add a Gcc header via the gcc-self group parameter and
remove the Newsgroups header via a function in message-send-hook.
(The nnfoo backend is a newsey backend.)  Dis is rilly rilly ugly.
