Even simpler (Iʼm tempted to put ""Don't merge to master." in the ChangeLog).

* lisp/gnus/mail-source.el (mail-source-movemail-program): Change
default to "movemail".
(mail-source-movemail): Pass just mail-source-movemail-program to
call-process instead of fully specifying it relative to
exec-directory. Ensures that we will find Mailutils movemail if
it is installed. (Bug#31737)

+The default value of mail-source-movemail-program is now "movemail".
+This ensures that the movemail program from GNU Mailutils will be used
