Just off the top of my head, it probably would be easy to write a
little function that

* narrows to the To, BCC, and CC fields (others?)

* searches and replaces the space separators between run-on email
  addresses by a newline

The second requires care: you can't just search for

  , *

since there may be commas lurking inside quotes or inside the email
addresses themselves.  I guess there are regexps lurking inside the
gnus or message codebase for identifying the boundaries between email
addresses which you could reuse.

You could then bind this wonderful function to M-q, which currently
does nothing useful in the headers...

Good luck!
