Please, read my comment to this issue from the last year (and maybe
the other comments to that issue too):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1184?focusedCommentId=12983893&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12983893

As you can see my grouping proposal is opposite to your ;-)
I never pushed the grouping idea after that comment because I felt it
was not really necessary, "yet".

If you try to write dependency lines between the modules and the
"groups" you will understand why. Here is an old graph I used when I
made that proposal:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12468787/graph-server.gif

Using other words: the modules you are grouping are not really usable
"alone" as on the library/function level they have twisted
dependencies with other groups.
