Below is the patch to enable it by default.
Change the Gnus default to use `#' to toggle the process mark
* lisp/gnus/gnus.el (gnus-process-mark-toggle): Change default.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-topic.el (gnus-topic-make-menu-bar): Update menu.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-make-menu-bar): Update menu.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-make-menu-bar): Update menu.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Marking Groups, Topic Commands):
(Setting Process Marks, Pick and Read): Document the new default.
