If you want to edebug what happens when you press `c', do C-h k q and
click on the hyperlink (Emacs only) in the documentation buffer that
leads you to the function definition, then press M-x edebug-defun RET
with point inside that function, return to Gnus and press `c'.  You
are placed in the lisp buffer when the function is invoked and can
single step using SPC and evaluate things using M-: or C-h v, or abort
execution with `q' and resume execution with `c' (or `g').

Maybe this should go into the manual somewhere?  Edebugging is very
useful to debug things and it is not very difficult even if you are
not familiar with Gnus internals.
