The patch was applied to the master branch and it doesn't work for me.
In my case because of line 1388 with the code:

#+begin_src elisp 
(setq group (gnus-group-full-name group server))
#+end_src

code on 1395 line:

#+begin_src elisp
(nnmaildir-base-name-to-article-number
		   (substring article 0 (string-match ":" article))
		   group (string-remove-prefix "nnmaildir:" server))
#+end_src

always return nil, because the group on line 1397 always gets something
like "nnmaildir+gmail:Inbox" and not "Inbox".

And in the code on 1400 line:

#+begin_src elisp
(member group groups)
#+end_src

also requires the group similar to "Inbox", so it can only be solved by
deleting line 1388:

#+begin_src elisp
(setq group (gnus-group-full-name group server))
#+end_src
