In Gnus, C-x m creates a new email message, and places the cursor at the
To: header, ready to enter an email address. C-n goes to the subject
line.
In my case C-u 8 C-n brings the cursor to the line below:
,----
| --text follows this line--
`----
I could create a keybinding. But the number of headers could change,
depending on posting styles and what else. Perhaps one of the wizards
here knows of a better way?

See the docstring for message-mode -- you can do a lot more than that!

And C-c C-b is `message-goto-body'.

You can reduce the number of headers with, e.g.,
(setq message-hidden-headers
'("References" "Face" "X-Face" "X-Draft-From" "Mail-Copies-To" "From" "Gcc") )
> --text follows this line--
As a side note, you can change that with
(setq mail-header-separator "---")

Specifically, `message-goto-body', as said.
In general, reduce the number of visible headers.
Also check out this package to iterate headers (and
the body) back and forth with TAB and backtab:
