While not a Gnus backend, Magit (https://magit.vc/) offers
support for forges with Forge (https://docs.magit.vc/forge/)
that includes issues (and pull requests).

Internally, (IIRC) this uses the Ghub package
(https://docs.magit.vc/ghub/), and extending that for Pagure
was reasonably easy, so it is probably for Forgejo as well.
