i use winamp to add RG tags and it does it very well for me.  2.3 only
afaict.

to do it, i went into prefs and configured the RG plugin to not need my
approval before writing RG tags.  doing this allowed me to be able to
set winamp into motion to do thousands of songs at a time.

i haven't checked, but i think it only sets an album gain tag by name
of the album, possibly cross-referenced with artist or album artist
name, or maybe folder location....  i can't say that for sure tho, and
i would like to know what quirks if any it may have, like the
year/foobar issue above.

btw, this is another reason i split multi disc sets up...  u may recall
that convo.  for the beatles "white album" i have a disc one and a disc
two, which i think you called "naff" which i assume is some monty
pythonesque english saying...  well, the album gain for disc 1 will be
different then for disc two, so you get a better result with less
outlier variances.

in other words, if i have an album thats 3, 4, or 5 CDs, the "album
gain" value becomes more useless as it has to avg more songs, esp since
each disc is distinctly different from the other in this way.

i'm probably explaining this poorly, but i assume you know what i
mean.

anyway, winamp is very good for RG.
