I don't think Gothmog was a Nazgul for two reasons: The Witch King wouldn't have tolerated a being with as much power as one of the other Nazgul in his place. Instead he would have had a lesser servant (but still evil and fulfilling the other requirements) that he would be able to dominate, and who would be able to run things while the Nine were off on business.

Actually, the second reason is less debatable than the first, but I'll let the first stand.
