My basic opinion is if a group arrives together at a gate, the all wait
until the person opening and closing the gate remount and is ready to go.
If group A arrives first and group B is close enough to cause no problems
leaving the gate open (cows won't excape for example), then group A rides
on leaving the gate open for group B and group B closes the gate.
