Hm, yes, that might be nice...

In the one use case so far, I'm not sure completion of this type would
have been optimal.  I knew I was looking for "database", but didn't
necessarily know that it was under gmane.comp (but I could have guessed)
and definitely didn't know that it was "db".  It gets even more
complicated with, say, a Debian list about something that may be under
gmane.comp or gmane.linux, depending on...  not much.
