If you try (info "(gnus) History"), Emacs will direct you to an info
page, which says the following:

;;;
If you want to investigate the person responsible for this outrage,
you can point your (feh!)  web browser to <https://quimby.gnus.org/>.
This is also the primary distribution point for the new and spiffy
versions of Gnus, and is known as The Site That Destroys Newsrcs And
Drives People Mad.
;;;

Then I find the following info on
<https://quimby.gnus.org/gnus/distribution.html>:

;;;
Downloading the development Gnus version from git

The server uses packed refs. Make sure your version of Git can handle
them (1.7.0.4 and later definitely do).

Public access

git clone http://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
;;;

I tried with the above git clone command, but failed as shown below:

$ git clone http://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
Cloning into 'gnus'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://git.gnus.org/gnus.git/': Empty reply from server


In short, the gnus related stuff in Emacs looks a bit confusing.
