I think it has been almost from the beginning:

  · https://www.gnus.org/history.html

In 2016 the development moved from it's own repository into Emacs'
repository - see the thread "Moving Gnus development to Emacs?" from the
end of 2015:

The version number hasn't reflected much since the independent
repository was closed.

Maybe add another digit for each Emacs release? 5.1333333.
