That is the name of the developement version of Gnus.

It contains new features, new bugfixes and maybe some new bugs.

The manual has a node called Gnus Versions, that perhaps clears up
things slightly:
,----
| 10.2.1 Gnus Versions
| --------------------
|
| The first "proper" release of Gnus 5 was done in November 1995 when it
| was included in the Emacs 19.30 distribution (132 (ding) Gnus releases
| plus 15 Gnus 5.0 releases).
|
| In May 1996 the next Gnus generation (aka. "September Gnus" (after 99
| releases)) was released under the name "Gnus 5.2" (40 releases).
|
| On July 28th 1996 work on Red Gnus was begun, and it was released on
| January 25th 1997 (after 84 releases) as "Gnus 5.4" (67 releases).
|
| On September 13th 1997, Quassia Gnus was started and lasted 37
| releases. It was released as "Gnus 5.6" on March 8th 1998 (46
| releases).
|
| Gnus 5.6 begat Pterodactyl Gnus on August 29th 1998 and was released
| as "Gnus 5.8" (after 99 releases and a CVS repository) on December 3rd
| 1999.
|
| On the 26th of October 2000, Oort Gnus was begun and was released as
| Gnus 5.10 on May 1st 2003 (24 releases).
|
| On the January 4th 2004, No Gnus was begun.
|
| If you happen upon a version of Gnus that has a prefixed name -
| "(ding) Gnus", "September Gnus", "Red Gnus", "Quassia Gnus",
| "Pterodactyl Gnus", "Oort Gnus", "No Gnus" - don't panic. Don't let it
| know that you're frightened. Back away. Slowly. Whatever you do,
| don't run. Walk away, calmly, until you're out of its reach. Find a
| proper released version of Gnus and snuggle up to that instead.
