This is the way it is done with Emacs.  Since Emacs is also on
Savannah and thus the respective mails carry identical content (I
don't know about Gnus), it would make sense to also choose the same
categories.  And when in doubt, we should keep closer to Emacs than
Gnus as our primary association.

So while I don't feel strongly about this, I think that the Emacs
scheme is slightly nicer.
