How about modifying `gnus-continuum-version' a little...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (string-to-number
       (cond
        ((zerop major) ;; development version
         (format "%s00%02d%02d"
                 [...])
        ((= 1 (% minor 2)) ;; Emacs bundled version
         (format "%d.%02d0000%02d" major minor least))
        (t ;; non-bundled release
         (format "%d.%02d%02d" major minor least))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

... so that we'd get:

ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "No Gnus v0.3")
5.110003
ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.11.1")
5.11000001
ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.11.2")
5.11000002
ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.10.6")
5.1006

Without the minor number, we would get:

ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.11")
5.11

Bye, Reiner.
