I agree.  `,' has "next, please" mnemonics like e.g. in `M-,' (next-tag).

 From this long discussion I got the impression that the best way to
satisfy everyone and not to annoy long-time calc users is to leave the
old `M-#' calc keybinding unchanged.  The fact that it is not available
in gnus is not a tragedy.  It does nothing disastrous when accidentally
typed in the gnus summary buffer (unlike M-g where rescanning the group
without the user's consent is not desirable).
