Grouping CI jobs manually by name

Proposal
I use a self-hosted instance of GitLab at work and wanted to use the feature that groups CI jobs by their names. However—and this wasn't especially clear from the linked documentation—it exclusively uses numbers at the end of the names of the CI jobs for grouping the jobs.
In our case, we have a number of different CI jobs that deploy code to different targets. For example, it'd be useful to be able to group:
- deploy foo
- deploy bar
- deploy baz
under a single "deploy" group. However, this isn't possible with the existing feature. It would probably require adding something like a new job_group key to the CI configuration.
What are your thoughts on this? It feels to me as though this would be a generally useful feature.
I'm also happy to try and provide a draft MR for the feature, if that'd be of benefit.
