Whatever name is chosen for a new newsgroup it should be nowhere near
comp.mail or comp.mail.maps.  Comp.mail.maps is already name space
abuse, there is no need to further it.  Comp.lang.postscript.maps
is a little strange rather far cognitively from the stuff that is
similar: news.lists.

So let me offer my not so original opinion:  use news.lists.
