Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

Currently, list of category in https://lists.debian.org are like this:

* Debconf
* Users
* Developers
* Internationalization and Translations
* Ports
* Bug tracking system
* Miscellaneous Debian
* Linux Standard Base
* Software in the Public Interest
* Other

It seems that some of above category may be too comprehensive,
so I think that updating list of category may be better.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

Checked existing category and list of what mailing-list belong to each
category.

* What was the outcome of this action?

It seems that some of existing category should be split into new one.

I suggest the following two cases.

* Case 1) Users category is too comprehensive, let's split it.
* Case 2) Developers category is too comprehensive, let's split it.


Case 1) Users category is too comprehensive, let's split it.

Split Users into "Users" and "Local Community and Users".
Merit of this one is making it easy to distinct regional community.

Before:

* Users (English)
* debian-announce
* debian-backports
...
* debian-user
...
* debian-chinese
* debian-chinese-big5
* debian-chinese-gb
* debian-esperanto
...


After:

* Users (English)
* debian-announce
* debian-backports
...
* debian-user
...

* Local Community and Users

* debian-chinese
* debian-chinese-big5
* debian-chinese-gb
* debian-esperanto
* debian-french
* debian-italian
* debian-japanese
* debian-user-catalan
* debian-user-danish
...


Case 2) Developers category is too comprehensive, let's split it.

Extract some mailing-list into new "Maintenance of Programming
Languages" from Developpers category.

Before:

* Developpers

* debian-academy
...

After:

* Developpers

* debian-academy
...

* Maintenance of Programming Languages

* debian-ada
* debian-clojure
* debian-common-lisp
* debian-go
* debian-haskell
* debian-js
* debian-ocaml-maint
* debian-perl
* debian-python
* debian-r
* debian-ruby
* debian-rust
* debian-scheme

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Miscellaneous Debian may be better to re-consider, but it is out of
scope.

BTW, where is the source code of lists.debian.org/?
