That's ok.  Although I don't like mixture of indent by setting
indent-tabs-mode as nil and indent by default.

I see.  Your setting may not be strange, but you perhaps didn't
use the indent function.  See the following:

(defun gnus-request-accept-article (group &optional gnus-command-method last
[...]
  (let ((gnus-command-method (or gnus-command-method
				 (gnus-find-method-for-group group)))
    (result (funcall (gnus-get-function gnus-command-method 'request-accept-article)
	     (if (stringp group) (gnus-group-real-name group) group)
	     (cadr gnus-command-method)
	     last)))

IMO, that is unsightly.  Furthermore, it will have a bad
influence on additional changes of the future.  I can see many
non-standard indentations in some files in Gnus.  Weren't they
made from the same cause?
