Yea, I thought exactly this.
I would prefer "gaze provides" (without list-) prints FTP-SERVER, 
SSH-SERVER, ...  and next I could choose one of them and use it "gaze 
provides SSH-SERVER".

BTW, we are again working on source mage stats server and one of news is 
we provide "PROVIDES". :-)
Interesting, for example SYSTEM-LOGGER: metalog is 14, syslogd 8 and 
syslog-ng 4 times installed.
Just try: http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/pr_detail.php

To this discussion:
Yes we can have hundreds of section but I would prefer hundreds of 
developers.
I do not see the difference if we have only cca 50 "developers" (p4 
users | grep 2005 | wc).
Of course subtract "users with perforce access". Do you plan 1 developer 
to 3 or 4 sections?
Now we have 62 sections.

I do not like MAINTAINER entry because it didn't work. I do not believe 
it could be better.
And what about bugzilla?  Of course our users could file a bugs agains 
not section but individual speels.
But again we have not so much developers. So this all is futile. All 
maintainers will have to maintain spells they do not use again.
