OK let's say yes to this in a limited way... what emrys is prosposing
are to many tiny sections... it wouldn't be a problem if we had subsections
but we don't so let's try to keep it as clean as possible.

a) no environment sorting other than shell/X.
b) keep it to class-apptype[-env] where env is [none|shell|x]
c) we could use something along the lines of having
   MAINTAINERS back(my proposal below)
d) only env sorted stuff should be sound themes, gtk themes etc... basicaly 
   env-look(or whatever I thik -look is good since it coinsides with the 
websites
   kde-look, gnome-look) where env is [shell|x|gtk1|gtk2|kde|gnome|wm]

Add a MAINTAINER file to each spell which would hold the following data:
Primary_spell_Maintainer_name - email[ - ircnick/imcontactinfo]
Secondary_spell_maintainer_name - email[ - ircnick/imcontactinfo]
etc...

Where the primary maintainer is always the guy that is basicaly using it
and fixing stuff for it etc...

secondary and so on maintainers are other gurus that help out with the spell
occasinaly and of course the section maintainer unless he is also the primary.

On another note:
sorcery should printout on failures where one can report bugs.
i.e.
****
