Even I'm interested, I have to craft a way of saving things with org.

I noticed during Orgmeetup, yantar92 (Ihor, the Org maintainer) does
org-capture on mail.

Related config I found in config
(https://github.com/yantar92/emacs-config/blob/master/config.org#capture-mail-to-org-task)

The author uses notmuch and another external package (org-capture-xref),
but I think for gnus the backend should be easy to implement.

Hope so you know, we can compose mail in org as well, using org-mime.
