After spending some time, I found out that there is no easy way to
save window configurations. Instead, as nXhtml, people

1. Walk through available window configurations they are interested
in,

2. Copy attributes (buffer name, buffer start/end position, etc.) of
the walked windows,

And in later sessions, using saved window attributes

3. Open same buffers one by one in specific windows,

4. Then resize opened windows according to the saved attributes.

To summarize, here is the solution I came up with:

(defun erc-register-window-configuration ()
  "Register vertically split `#postgresql' and `#lisp' channel windows
into
configuration 2."
  (let ((psql-buf (get-buffer "#postgresql"))
	(lisp-buf (get-buffer "#lisp")))
    (cond ((and psql-buf lisp-buf)
	   (switch-to-buffer psql-buf)
	   (delete-other-windows)
	   (recenter)
	   (select-window (split-window-horizontally))
	   (switch-to-buffer lisp-buf)
	   (recenter)
	   (window-configuration-to-register ?2))
	  (t (warn "Couldn't find buffers `#postgresql' and `#lisp'.")))))

(add-hook 'erc-join-hook 'erc-register-window-configuration)

(defun gnus-register-window-configuration ()
  "Register a whole `*Group*' buffer window into configuration 1."
  (let ((group-buf (get-buffer "*Group*")))
    (when group-buf
      (switch-to-buffer group-buf)
      (delete-other-windows)
      (beginning-of-buffer)
      (window-configuration-to-register ?1))))

(add-hook 'gnus-started-hook 'gnus-register-window-configuration)
