It doesn't look like `gnus-summary-current-score' is used
programmatically at all, so I'm not sure why it would need to use
gnus-message in the first place. Other code can (and does) use whichever
of `gnus-summary-article-score' or `gnus-thread-total-score' is
necessary.

I'd be in favor of just using `message'.
