Within "M-x customize" I found "Text" group.
I'd like to add my group to this group. Unfortunately this was failed:
(defgroup xxx nil
"xxx-mode customization."
:group 'text)
Searching around gave working piece:
(defgroup xxx nil
"xxx-mode customization."
:group 'wp)
How can I guess "wp" name from customize buffer content?
Is that from somewhat historical reasons?

I don't see that group, with `emacs -Q'. Perhaps it comes from
some library that you are using?
What does `M-x customize-group RET TAB' tell you?
That's how to discover group names.

^^^^ 'Text, not 'text, if "Text" is the group name.

What is the relation between this and group "Text"?
What do you see in the Customize buffer?
> Is that from somewhat historical reasons?

The question is unclear.

Screens shown above. After executing:

>> :group 'wp)
I see my group under Text group:
Text group: Support for editing text files.
State : visible group members are all at standard values.
Show Value Text Mode Hook
Hook run after entering Text mode. More
Subgroups:
Bib Major mode for editing bib files.

...
Xxx xxx-mode customization.
================================================================
My question is why does "Text" group require symbol 'wp' in "(defgroup ...)"
call and how can I guess this symbol during navigation across *Customize*
buffers?
I discover proper name only after:
$ ack -C 5 '(defgroup' $EMACS_SRC/lisp
textmodes/rst.el
283-
284-(defgroup rst nil "Support for reStructuredText documents."
285: :group 'wp
286- :version "23.1"
287- :link '(url-link "http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html"))

Oops. Looks to me like a bug (#24549) that `M-x customize-group'
does not recognize custom group `text'.

Me neither. I just filed bug #24549 for this.

Good question. I'm getting the impression that `text' is not
a real group but is some other kind of (virtual) grouping of
some other groups.
I do not see it defined in the Lisp sources using `defgroup'.
If it were defined using `defgroup', as usual, then I would
expect that (1) you would be able to inherit from it directly
and (2) it would be recognized by `customize-group'.
