Override module categories per module, and a way to provide drupal.org with (real) category statistics

One of the most annoying aspects of working with the modules overview is the (admittedly) dilemmas of categorising modules, leaving a bunch of modules either in the Other category, or in completely strange places, to "my logic". And everyone has their own little logic, which is why we cannot expect to agree on "one" logic.

This is an opportunity for this module. First as a nice and practical feature, but actually even more interesting if it were made in a way that could provide Drupal.org with statistics of the main preferences of "most users of this module".

Imagine letting us override which category (or even more than one per module..!?) each module should be shown under, on the settings page of this module, and then, as the update status module connects to Drupal.org to get new release info, it can offer to submit the names and categories only of the modules that have a custom category set. That could be used on drupal.org to make better decisions related to categorisation.

Then we dont need to take on an eternal discussion about module categorisation on drupal.org, but just use the statistics that tells us what "most" admins mean about the categorisation for each of the modules on their own (multiple) sites installs.
