As me for another example.
Gnus has been part of Emacs longer, so if either one has rights, it
would be gnus.  However, gnus uses it only in gnus buffers, while Calc
tries to use it globally.  I don't know if there are any conventions
for global keybindings like there are for major and minor mode
keybindings, or where M-# would fit.  Rebinding it in your init file
may be convenient,
(global-set-key "\C-cm" 'calc-dispatch)
or somesuch.
