With `T ^' I can mark the parent using `#' then type `T ^' on the
child. But the normal use case of this functionality is that I
receive a message without References header and want to find out the
parent, then rethread that message. So it would be more convenient if
I could process-mark the child-to-be, then find the parent, then hit
`T v' (say, because `v' looks like the opposite of `^').
Does this functionality exist, maybe with a different keybinding?

This would be useful because it makes sense to make several articles
the child of one parent, but not several articles the parent of one
child.
I suggested a long time ago that the T ^ function be changed to do
this, but Lars didn't seem to want to make a change in the user
interface. Maybe a variable or an alternate function would be in
order?

I'd like gnus-summary-thread-adopt-child and a `T v' keybinding,
please, but no dessert.

Not yet, though Larsi gave approval for both the key-binding and the
functionality you're asking for when I asked for in in Jan '98.
Needles to say I haven't written it. :P
