Those are all real.  Don't remove them.  Mark Horton is the one who
sent out the "newgroup" messages for those.  He should be posting
something to net.announce explaining their creation.  That should be in
the very near future.  In the meantime, just hold on.

Oh, and don't be surprised if a few more mod groups show up in the
meantime.
