Actually, Gnus writes a bunch of stuff: mbox, IMAP, nnml, babyl,
MH spool, NNTP, maybe more?

Mutt seems to use the values out of the Sender header and the Date
header to construct the From_ line.  So maybe the solution is the
roundabout nnml -> mbox using Gnus, then mbox -> Maildir -> mbox
using Mutt.  Hm.  That's a lot of work.

Or perhaps I should just switch to Maildir.
