It looks like Masanobu Umeda is the original author according to
http://flex.ee.uec.ac.jp/texi/gnus/gnus_1.html, and acknowldeges no
significant prior version according to
<http://flex.ee.uec.ac.jp/texi/gnus/gnus_3.html>.

Maybe there's some confusion with a slightly older package called
"Gnews", which I was using in 1982 (and also contributed some elisp
for), authored by weemba.
