The body of the bug report was empty, and I can not confirm the non
working of the option.

The documentation says that the EXTRA_GROUPS (settable only from the
configuration file) are only used for new non-system user iff either
ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS is set or --add_extra_groups is set on the command
line.

This is how adduser in unstable behaves.

root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# addgroup foo
Adding group `foo' (GID 1000) ...
Done.

(add foo to EXTRA_GROUPS in adduser.conf)
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# adduser foo1
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# getent group foo
foo:x:1000:
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# adduser --add_extra_groups foo2
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# getent group foo
foo:x:1000:foo2

(set ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS in adduser.conf)
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# adduser foo3
root@salida-unstable-buildd-amd64-5okx:/srv# getent group foo
foo:x:1000:foo2,foo3

And we didnt break that behavior in git head.

What is the bug that is being reported here?

Greetings
Marc
