Ah.  Cool.  As a first step I tried out:

 (cdadr (gnus-group-entry "nnimap+oxygen:[email protected]"))

since ding was at point and thus easy to copy-n-yank.

It errored out that (listp 0) return nil.

Some experimentation showed that:

 (cadadr (gnus-group-entry "nnimap+oxygen:[email protected]"))

returned the cons (11 . 15), where 11 is the current level.
(I'm not sure what that cons' cdr is.)

I see aroung 7% of the groups' lines in .newsrc.eld have just an integer
at that point for level, whereas the others have such a cons.

Eg this returns just the integer 11:

 (cadadr (gnus-group-entry "nnimap+oxygen:GitHub-Torvalds"))

I take it setcar will not do the right thing in such cases, yes?
And something like a cl-typecase would be required?

Is cadadr setf-able in emacs?

Thanks for the help!

P.S.  setting (nnimap-expunge never) or (nnimap-expunge 'never)
      in an entry in gnus-secondary-select-methods doesn't seem
      to do anything.  dovecot removes the files everytime gnus
      quits the *Summary* buffer.  I want to set \Delete but not
      to expunge...
