I see, the whole thing seems to be a local issue, you probably see
  something entirely different, since now the summary buffer looks like
  this for me:

,--------------------------------------------------------------------
| O  [  27: Thorsten Jolitz <tjolit] '=> gmane.emacs.help' as sender?
| OA     [  42: Tassilo Horn <tassilo@m] 
| OA         [  64: Thorsten Jolitz <tjolit] 
|  .             [  34: Thorsten Jolitz <tjolit] 
`--------------------------------------------------------------------

I could probably set gnus-summary-line-format to 

 ,-------------------------------------
 | "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-15,15F%]%) %s\n"
 `-------------------------------------

then it would work for my name - but what for different name of
     different lenght? I always worked for all kind of names.
