We would need to modify the functions that generate parameter definitions (in gnus.el I think).

But my suggestion was something different: it would gather *existing* customizations from all the group/topic parameters in newsrc.eld and put them in gnus-parameters, so you don't depend on the values in newsrc.eld. It would work in reverse too, applying gnus-parameters to each individual group. Ted
