the group illumos-developers on gmane is one of those where the list
server puts a tag in subject line. In this case:
`[illumos-developer]'
So a subject line may be
Subject: [illumos-developer] blah bug fix blah when
In our manual in the `Group Parameters' section I see this info (ONLY
PARTIAL):

| nntp+news.gnus.org:gmane.text.docbook.apps
|
| has the tag `DOC-BOOK-APPS:' in the subject of all articles, this
| tag can be removed from the article subjects in the summary buffer
| for the group by putting `(gnus-list-identifiers "DOCBOOK-APPS:")'
| into the group parameters for the group.

(I'm assuming where it says `DOCBOOK' in the last sentence... its a
typo and should say `DOC-BOOK')
But that aside, adding the line below to Group Parameters appears to
have no effect:
((gnus-list-identifiers "[illumos-developers]"))
All the subject lines still have `[illumos-developers]' in them
------- --------- ---=--- --------- --------
There is a whole section above what I quoted above, that may mean some
other step needs to be taken too... I really couldn't understand what
that section is trying to tell me.
Posting more context below; Maybe someone will know how this is
supposed to work:

| `(VARIABLE FORM)'
| You can use the group parameters to set variables local to the
| group you are entering. If you want to turn threading off in
| `news.answers', you could put `(gnus-show-threads nil)' in the
| group parameters of that group. `gnus-show-threads' will be made
| into a local variable in the summary buffer you enter, and the
| form `nil' will be `eval'ed there.
|
| Note that this feature sets the variable locally to the summary
| buffer if and only if VARIABLE has been bound as a variable.
| Otherwise, only evaluating the form will take place. So, you may
| want to bind the variable in advance using `defvar' or other if
| the result of the form needs to be set to it.
|
| But some variables are evaluated in the article buffer, or in the
| message buffer (of a reply or followup or otherwise newly created
| message). As a workaround, it might help to add the variable in
| question to `gnus-newsgroup-variables'. *Note Various Summary
| Stuff::. So if you want to set `message-from-style' via the group
| parameters, then you may need the following statement elsewhere in
| your `~/.gnus.el' file:
|
| (add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables 'message-from-style)
|
| A use for this feature is to remove a mailing list identifier tag
| in the subject fields of articles. E.g. if the news group
|
| nntp+news.gnus.org:gmane.text.docbook.apps
|
| has the tag `DOC-BOOK-APPS:' in the subject of all articles, this
| tag can be removed from the article subjects in the summary buffer
| for the group by putting `(gnus-list-identifiers "DOCBOOK-APPS:")'
| into the group parameters for the group.
