I believe that Gnus is one of the emacs packages that interfaces with BBDB in a more sophisticated way. It would be great if Gnus could be updated to work (also) with BBDB v3. During the re-write of BBDB, various functions have changed their names and calling sequences. This has made the new code more clean, powerful, and up-to-date. Yet making BBDB v3 work with Gnus will require some attention. (It is an item on the todo list for BBDB v3 to provide a more complete list of how things have changed from BBDB v2 to v3. This should facilitate the update for Gnus.) Currently BBDB v3 is in an alpha stage. While I'd like to declare soon that it has reached a beta stage, it was probably good if already now someone familiar with Gnus' interface to BBDB could take a look into this so that we could try to make sure that the new BBDB can work with Gnus as smoothly as possible. (Various add-ons for BBDB v2 had to go through some pain to work as intended by advicing BBDB functions and things like that. With BBDB v3 I tried to clean up and simplify these things; and various add-ons for BBDB v2 are already incorporated into v3 in one or the other way. It would probably be good if the needs of Gnus could be incorporated into the new BBDB before we declare that BBDB v3 has reached a beta stage.)
