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.
