    I'm sure they'll appreciate help in reducing dependencies between modules.

I am sure they would, but that doesn't excuse creating all those
dependencies.

    Actually, they originally did make a specific effort to make
    message-mode independent from Gnus so that it can replace mail-mode.

Maybe they wanted it to replace Mail mode, but they didn't ask me if I
wanted to replace it.  They should have talked with me first, and then
I would have said, "Please extend Mail mode, and please talk with me
about what you want to do."
