Thanks for your insight, it is quite helpful. I’m still a little unclear what specifically made one think a category stated specifically to be for discussions related to a nonprofit organization, entitled the name of that organization, would be more relevant than one called “Users”, stated to be for general discussions of the Python programming language. But I imagine that, at least in most cases, the language barrier likely has something to do with it, likely coupled with lack of familiarity with what the PSF is.
In any case, I agree that it would be a good idea to at the very least mention “help” in the description of the Users category, so it is clear it is the place to ask such questions.

Additionally, we could consider adding a new “Python Help” category or
similar, focused on help with the Python language and the standard
library. I think that might be a good idea, to avoid overwhelming
general-interest posts like this
one in the flood of user questions,
but that’s a substantially bigger change and would require more
discussion and consensus.
I remain of the opinion that the “Users” section is, and should remain,
the “help” section. I think trying to partition it would be vague at
best and ineffective anyway.
