Note that the current language-oriented sections (python, perl, and
the just proposed ocaml and ruby) are meant to contain stuff related
to "develop" in that language. They are not meant to contain
everything implemented in a given language.

While it is quite clear that we are rapidly approaching the inherent
problem of sections (i.e., they cannot be orthogonal), I believe that
the above rule is quite agreed upon.

Hence, IMHO, StumpWM should be in a section related to X11 or window
managers, not in "lisp".

Cheers.
