Try it for a week and tell me if you think it should be committed
(with the proper documentation of course) or not.

The following does it.  It's not exactly the same behaviour as nnmail.
In nnmail the indicator indicates whether nnmail has splitted mail
during this session or not. Instead this indicates if the server has
mail you've never seen.  But fortunately the documentation is fuzzy
and I think we're still in agreement with this:

`m'
     `%' (`gnus-new-mail-mark') if there has arrived new mail to the
     group lately.
