Okay, maybe "catch up" isn't quite right, but these are two areas where Gnus isn't miles ahead, like it usually is. For the multiple-email-addresses issue, it seems like we ought to have something baked into message.el that lets you set up different identities -- sort of like posting styles, but for blank composed messages. There's a package called gnus-alias in Melpa that looks like it does pretty much that, maybe it could be considered for inclusion. The multiple device problem is trickier. The idea of Gnus-specific marks was floated, and Lars was also talking about something called "Gnus Cloudy" which might also address this. It's not an area I'm very familiar with, and I guess I don't know what the best solution is...
