Thanks.  I've changed the Subject, as this is not really related to
Gitlab.

If the group's name makes it clear it's for programming, the audience
is clear.  I think in other cases, the target major mode(s) are a
better discriminator.  For example, "Editing Text" is better than "For
Writers".  But I didn't think too long about this.  Maybe we should
wait with this until we have a longer list.

I don't think we need to make this decision now.  If we decide to
include ELPA, that's additive, right?
