Okay, so I had a look at this and this is my conclusion: pgus-general
and pgeu-general are in the wrong category. I was just talking to
Stefan:

(10:27:05) alvherre(at)pg: so here's what I want to do
(10:27:10) alvherre(at)pg: I need a new column in the lists table
(10:27:13) alvherre(at)pg: which is a short description
(10:27:21) alvherre(at)pg: that text is what I would put in the left-side menu
(10:27:40) alvherre(at)pg: it is pretty obvious that in "user groups" I can just name the geographical region
(10:27:48) alvherre(at)pg: and in regional lists, I can name the language
(10:27:59) alvherre(at)pg: but I cannot do sh*t about pgus and pgeu :-(
(10:28:13) alvherre(at)pg: maybe we should create another category for those??

What do people think about creating a new category (list group) and
sticking pgus-general and pgeu-general on it? What should that category
be named?

Also, I take it nobody objects to the "short description" thing.
