For me it does group working sets properly... but there's a catch: you must
have more than 1 working set active for it to show the working sets as top
level... (otherwise it'll just show the children of the sole working set
you have).

JDT is heavily customized in this regard (they even have their own concept
of a java working set), and by design PyDev uses what the platform gives.
What you can do to configure your working sets is customize them from the
pydev package explorer: focus it > ctrl+F10 > select working set and there
you can manage your active working sets.
So, if changes are needed in this specific area, the best way to contribute
would probably be porting JDT-specific things to the Eclipse base CNF
(Common Navigation Framework).

Fabio
