network group is still used according to void-linux/void-packages#34703 (comment)

I think this might require different wording, "Access to input devices" is different, as this groups provides access to the actual input device files, while with the network group it some network managers use it as access control to control the network manager.

Edit: maybe this is too pedantic, the other groups are also not 100% correct and "Access to network devices" is not wrong either.

I'd be happy to change it, I'm all for precise and descriptive wording. :)

But I don't have a good description, I also lack understanding of how exactly the group is used. So I'll just do nothing until someone proposes something better or it gets merged...

Would "access to network management interfaces" be more accurate maybe? Should it be qualified, like 'some' network management interfaces?
