I don't use spam.el yet (but I'm sure I will in the future, because
it's certainly a very nice and necessary feature), so I don't know how
the `*gmane-report-*spam' would fit in there.  As you say that it's
not trivial, it should be easier to put it in `gnus-sum.el'[1].
Another Gmane related command that I use often is "Browse current
Gmane article using `browse-url'.".  As I use leafnode, I don't have
the same article numbers as news.gmane.org has, but I can (ab)use the
X-Report-{Unspam,Spam} header for this:

(defun rs-gnus-summary-gmane-browse-article ()
  "Browse current Gmane article using `browse-url'."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((url (or (rs-gnus-summary-fetch-field "X-Report-Spam" t)
		  (rs-gnus-summary-fetch-field "X-Report-Unspam"))))
    (if url
	(browse-url
	 (gnus-replace-in-string
	  (gnus-replace-in-string
	   url "http://\\(un\\)?spam\\." "http://article.")
	  ":\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" "/\\1")))))

For the `*gmane-report-*spam' commands, we could use similar key
bindings as for the spam/ham reporting.

Bye, Reiner.

[1] If we add more Gmane related commands, it might be better to
    create a `gnus-gmane.el' file for this.  But maybe such a file
    already exists on the disks of the Gmane author. ;-)
