Perhaps whoever manages these things might look into maybe merging those

"Whoever manages these things" is a process defined for big-8 newsgroup
hierarchies, and managed in the newsgroup "news.groups". The process
involves submitting an RFD (request for discussion), which will
eventually progress to a CFV (call for votes), after which everyone will
vote and you get to find out whether the change gets made or not. The
proposal succeeds if BOTH:
a) it gets at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes
b) it gets at least twice as many YES votes as NO votes
Actually, the process has, relatively recently, changed significantly. See
