Oh, this is perfectly fine and I apologize. It was early and I just hit reply 
instead of sending to the list.

I installed GNU Emacs as a package via apt. This is the most recent
version available under the standard repos for Ubuntu 20.04.

I was in the summary buffer of "INBOX" with point on your announcement

indeed call that command.

I'm sorry I didn't word this better. I meant that the directory
containing "gnus.elc" was in load-path. Specifically
"/usr/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/gnus".

gnus-get-info is a Lisp macro in ‘gnus.el’.

Not documented.

$ git remote -v
origin  git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bbdb.git (fetch)
origin  git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bbdb.git (push)

Please let me know if there is any other information I could provide
which would be helpful.
