Your patch is (as usual) full of totally irrelevant things, so it's not
applicable.

The idea of the feature is good, though, but can probably be implemented
as a simple file name regexp substitution in the xref machinery that
says "if we were going to jump to
/usr/share/emacs/27.1/lisp/gnus/gnus.el.gz, then jump to
/usr/src/emacs/27.1/lisp/gnus/gnus.el" instead.
