That makes sense. And it's more specific than "System", which tends
to be a catch-all category when people don't put much thought into
picking a category...

Yeah. Maybe a whole new "Maintainer HOWTOs" section on the site. If
I'm doing the writing, I tend to be long-winded, so it's better not
to just jam all the unrelated stuff (.desktop files, cmake variable
overrides, icons, using the correct -std= for CFLAGS, etc) into one
long page.

It'd be better if I wasn't the only one doing the writing. But a
lot of this stuff never gets discussed, so I have no idea what other
people do or don't know about it.
