I have been experimenting with gnus-emphasis-alist in order to make
the fruit salad in the article buffer even more angry.  Using emphasis
for "quote" and `stuff', 'like this' seems to work.

Should this be done by default?

Probably with some other faces than what font-lock uses.

You can try this

(setq gnus-emphasis-alist
      (append gnus-emphasis-alist
	      '(("\\W'\\(\\w[^']*\\w\\)'\\W" 1 1 font-lock-reference-face)
	        ("\\W\"\\(\\<[^\"]*\\>\\)\"\\W" 1 1 font-lock-string-face)
                ("\\W`\\(\\<[^`']*\\w\\)'\\W" 1 1 font-lock-keyword-face))))

to test it (I haven't).  

Or add customize entries  (like I did):

** gnus-emphasis-alist:

[ ... ]

[INS] [DEL] List:
            Regexp:  \W'\(\w[^']*\w\)'\W
            Match group:  1
            Emphasize group:  1
            Face: font-lock-reference-face (show)
            [-] 
[INS] [DEL] List:
            Regexp:  \W"\(\<[^"]*\>\)"\W
            Match group:  1
            Emphasize group:  1
            Face: font-lock-string-face (show)
            [-] 
[INS] [DEL] List:
            Regexp:  \W`\(\<[^`']*\w\)'\W
            Match group:  1
            Emphasize group:  1
            Face: font-lock-keyword-face (show)
            [-] 
[INS]
[!] [?] Alist that says how to fontify certain phrases.
