Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
This makes the module very hard to find especially for sites with many module groups. It would be better if there was no group.

jdwfly CreditAttribution: jdwfly commentedFor such a good module its too bad you think that. I don't know if you've checked but very few people actually use the util module ~1100. Thats less than 0.6% of everyone using Drupal. This module is very good and I can see it being used a lot more in the future especially with Drupal 7, but putting it in a module group that is, for the majority of Drupal users, unknown, is not a good decision in my opinion. Especially since your module does not have any ties to the util module except for the fact that you know it started as a patch.
For new users, which you will hopefully have a lot more soon, this is very counter-intuitive. You might want to think about how it looks to someone if they have no idea about the util module (Nearly 99.4% of Drupal sites don't use it, my sites are included in that). It doesn't make any sense to a new user to find you module under the Util group.
This is module is great (I am using it on all my sites) except for this one flaw.

cYu CreditAttribution: cYu commentedI think the "Administration" group might be the most sensible place for this module. I'll make that change along with the next code update.
