The development version of Gnus has customizable citation line:

,----[ <f1> v message-citation-line-format RET ]
| message-citation-line-format is a variable defined in `message'.
| Its value is 
| "On %a, %b %d %Y, %N wrote:\n"
| 
| Documentation:
| Format of the "Whomever writes:" line.
| 
| The string is formatted using `format-spec'.  The following
| constructs are replaced:
| 
|   %f   The full From, e.g. "John Doe <john.doe@example.invalid>".
|   %n   The mail address, e.g. "john.doe@example.invalid".
|   %N   The real name if present, e.g.: "John Doe", else fall
|        back to the mail address.
|   %F   The first name if present, e.g.: "John".
|   %L   The last name if present, e.g.: "Doe".
| 
| All other format specifiers are passed to `format-time-string'
| which is called using the date from the article your replying to.
| Extracting the first (%F) and last name (%L) is done
| heuristically, so you should always check it yourself.
| 
| Please also read the note in the documentation of
| `message-citation-line-function'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
