Hi,
Why isn’t group-mode (and other read-only modes, such as summary-mode)
not based on special mode? so that I can consistently rebind all
buffer-changing commands to more useful ones for all read-only buffers,
not one mode per mode?

My guess is that the Gnus code predates the common convention of using
special-mode for these kinds of buffers. That's something I was
intending to get around to (as well as having all the various Gnus modes
inherit from a master do-nothing "gnus-mode"), but haven't yet.
Maybe make a bug report?
Eric
