I agree with you, but as I'm currently the only "active" mod (not active, really), I'll leave it open to collect some votes at least. And I hope that fresh new mod(s) will be willing to work on these ...

What to do with all of these "STM32"-derived Tags?
I'm following the stm32 tag and the stm32f0 and the stm32f4 and I should probably follow the other STM32 tags as well.

What is with the ground tags?
Grounding and Earthing are probably used interchangeably on this site and I agree they could be merged, possibly after looking at some statistics which I don't know how to do.
