Since the commit Lars pushed which ended newsrc.eld storage of marks for
imap groups, persistance of any mark, including dormant, is solely
dependent on the imap server.

when that change happened, i was using an imap server which could only
support the fixed set of marks in the imap rfc.

so tick -- which uses the standard imap keyword Flagged -- would persist.

dormant, however, is a gnus-specific keyword (gnus-dormant).
so it would not persist.

i now use dovecot, which supports arbitrary keywords.  so now dormant
persists for me.  as it used to back when all of the marks were stored
in ~/.newrc.eld.

so your only options are an imap server capable of storing arbitrary
keywords, hack you current imap server to support the gnus-dormant
keyword, or hack gnus to save dormant in .newrc.eld.

(in the latter case it would be best to store locally only for imap
servers which cannot store arbitrary imap keywords.)
