Are you sure you don't mean gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups (default
is '("delayed" "drafts" "queue"))?  I can't find
gnus-registry-ignored-groups in my code :)

gnus-registry.el also respects
nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups.

Both of the variables above are actually lists of strings to be
matched, not association lists as you indicate.

I think the list you indicate would actually be good for general use
as a default, with a slight modification:

(setq gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups '("delayed" "drafts" "queue"
                                        "^nnrss:" "^nntp:" "spam"))

;; untested
(when (featurep 'spam)
 (dolist (group spam-junk-mailgroups)
 (add-to-list gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups group)))

What do you think of the above as a default?  The ^ anchor is needed
because otherwise groups like "nnml:discuss-nntp" would be matched.

Thanks
