An easy way to fix it would be to use cancel locks instead of the
heuristics used in message-cancel-news to determine if you're allowed to
cancel.

All you need is to replace the checking code in message-cancel-news
with:

   (if (canlock-verify) (error "This article is not yours"))

and add this to .gnus

(add-hook 'message-header-hook 'canlock-insert-header)
(setq canlock-password "hemmeligt")
(require 'canlock)
