The summary buffer isn't refreshed automatically if it
is open and then you do something in the group buffer
that should show in the summary buffer. That's just a
general observation. If you don't have a summary
buffer, and it shows up, but the marks are
inconsistent, then that is either a misunderstanding, a
misconfiguration, or a bug - or a combination :) The
rule of bug reports is, though, that if you think or
suspect it is a bug, you should report it! Sometimes it
isn't a bug, but that's OK.

Good question. There are bug tracking systems where you
can provide additional information - as in, the bug is
a Usenet thread itself, somewhat - but I don't know
what Gnus uses. Since the discussion on gnu.emacs.gnus
is ultra-on-topic (which is great), I assume that the
developers read every single line, so I don't think you
have to worry that this post of yours is lost to them.
