I think the idea of threading is to minimize the number of distinct threads for me to deal with. If there are two threads with the same topic then it's been defeated. So I want it to use references headers to get the threads right whenever possible, but when someone's broken reader messes up it should go ahead and try to correct by looking at the subject lines.

I second this as well. Actually We'll have to thing more about what it means to sort and score threads. Maybe the right thing to do is to sort children of the same article according to the the cumulative score (using gnus-thread-score-function) of all their children. Then sort the thread roots the same way. However, I don't think this actually provides much benefit; I'm not sure if it's worth it. -- greg
