I judged the pages above only by title (actually just by looking for
groups that start with the same string) - so regexp should do to get at
least 1000 pages into categories. This would be really boring to
do manually, but just finding the biggest groups on UncategorizedPages
should do a lot of heavylifting. There might be some hundred pages left
for manual categorization, but it would be great to have the stuff
doable by bot to be done before.

I dont think we desperately need regularly run maintenance scripts
currently as the ~8000 pages in the wiki are still "manageable". But
using a bot for one-shot cleanup and sorting batch operations would be
great!
