That's one reason why I put them in my ~/.gnus.el.  Another reason is
that then I can use some kind of "parameter inheritance", e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-parameters
      `((,(rx (or "emacs" "gnus"))
         (gnus-button-emacs-level 10))

	(,(rx "nnimap+")                             ;; general mail stuff
	 (gnus-use-scoring nil)
	 (gcc-self . t))
	(,(rx "nnimap+Uni:ml/")                      ;; specifics for uni mailinglists
	 (gcc-self . "nnimap+Uni:Sent"))
	(,(rx "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists.") ;; specifics for other mailinglists
	 (gcc-self . "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Items")
	 (gnus-use-scoring t))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

No, I agree.  Not that this changes anything. :-)

Bye,
