Googler here. You are correct. Internally google groups are the easiest way to create adhoc project groups and support / announce lists. We have everything from music related lists, to stuff like vim/emacs user groups

I have trouble imagining what a vim/emacs user group would be: either some sort of nonstop abusive flamewar or some kind of kumbaya group you can only join if you can prove you're on a dangerously high dose of lithium.
Seems pretty clear to me: "vim/emacs user groups" describes a superset that includes the vicious fighting groups and the kumbaya groups, plus of course those that make emacs distros that are (shudder) more like vim, and perhaps even discussion of the other way around?
Also groups that trade baking recipes in org-mode format plus vim macros so they can share the fun.
Not a Googler but I've personally been in a few groups for testing new features. I believe communication to testers has been revamped but pre-2020 I was in a few like gdd-profile-preview
