Apologies for adding to the conversation, i maybe talking out of turn.

From a non-dev's point of view, making the component names obvious would be 
helpful, something like "sieve" is meaningless to me as a non-dev. 
Two names i see as duplicates in the list are "misc" and "general", they both 
seem to be the same thing, maybe remove one?
Having "kmail" and "kmail2" in the product list is a bit confusing as well
