Here's what's currently in use:
(defun jmt-bbdb-gnus-split-fancy ()
"this is just a boring wrapper function"
(car (bbdb/gnus-split-method)))
This does *not* deal with folks who have bbdb entries but no
gnus-private values, and it does *not* deal nicely with multiple
returns. Basically, I want gnus-public entries to be of a greater
precedence than gnus-private entries, but multiple gnus-public entries
should be respected -- if a message is mailed to the ding list and the
ipfilter list, a copy of the message should be filed in each list's
folder. I'm probably going to give Kai's second suggestion a try,
since it should solve both of my problems.
I also have another idle fantasy while we're on this topic.
Right now, if a user on a mailing list sends a message to me and to
the list, both copies get sent to the mailing list folder, which is
annoying as heck. I'd like to either only get one reply (preferably
to the list) or have the messages deposited in (possibly) two folders,
one for the user (if gnus-private exists, else mail.misc) and one for
the list. Is this possible?

Yeah, I'll definitely try the second one.
