There is also `gnus-extract-address-components' that is supposedly
faster than `mail-header-parse-address', though less accurate.  Is this
an issue?  How are these two functions used elsewhere?

I believe the approach of `mail-extract-address-components' is rather
heuristic.  Could it make sense to declare it obsolete or make it an
alias for one of the other functions?
