You don't have to, I have been using the former way since days of yore.

The point is that I want the rules before the call to bbdb/gnus-split-
method to "overrule" bbdb.

(E.g. I want commit messages to go to a commit-group, regardless of
whether I have the person who did the commit configured in bbdb to be
split into another group).

I have, however, also these two bbdb-splitting related settings:

  (setq bbdb/gnus-split-default-group nil
        bbdb/gnus-split-nomatch-function nil)

I don't know if the first could be of relevance here - I guess not,
because then Gijs' emails would have been going to mail.misc...

(IMAP is complicated.)
