I'd still recommend taking a closer look at BBDB -- make sure you get
version 3. Integration with Org is pretty good: you can add links to
BBDB contacts, with completion.
I'm knocking the last rough edges of a small package designed to bridge
some of the air-gaps between Org, Gnus, and BBDB -- I'll have a usable
version done Real Soon Now. Relevant to your use-case, it allows tagging
BBDB contacts with Org-type tags, so you can 1) open an Org agenda from
the tags of the displayed BBDB contacts; 2) do the inverse of that: pop
up a BBDB buffer corresponding to the tags search of the Org agenda; or
3) pop up a BBDB buffer showing all the records linked to from the
current heading.
A little glue goes a long way...
