Personally I just have a Gnus demon timer to save newsrc, sync with
Nextcloud and the close whenever I'm done on that machine.

If I forget that I can just take over the file on another machine as
Gnus notices if another program has touched the file and stops saving.
When I then return to the machine I quit without saving in that Gnus and
then start Gnus again.
