I actually got myself added to the CC of the command-line scripts
category the other week because I noticed that was happening.

I'd be inclined to go the other way: if it's a command-line program at
all, put it in the command-line category. My rationale behind this is
that people who aren't regular committers shouldn't have to know what
distinguishes a command line script from a package script. I also could
argue that the scripts aren't really part of the packaging, but the
boundary is hazy.

But to be honest, I don't mind too much, though would like something to
be chosen for exactly this reason (and, if there's a standard, then they
can get triaged to the appropriate category easily enough if they're
wrong.)
