bug#57863: 29.0.50; Feature request: display project name in buffer-menu

Hi, Emacs dev team!

Is there an option to display the project's name in the buffer menu? I
didn't see any option like that in the buffer-menu.el file, hence I have
opened up this feature request.

What do you think? Would this be a good feature?

You mean in the buffer you get after saying `C-x C-b'?

I think that sounds useful, but it's already a pretty full buffer.  And
most people don't use projects, so it couldn't be a column displayed by
default.

But perhaps we could put the project name into one of the existing
columns?  Like -- a parenthesis after the mode?

Anybody have any opinions here?

Yes, M-x buffer-menu!

All these options work for me!

Wasn't migrating of buff-menu to tabulated-list intended
to allow easy addition of more columns by the users?
Then buff-menu could have a customizable additional
columns for tabulated-list-format, and a hook
to add more tabulated-list-entries for every buffer.

Sure.  But as always, what's most important are the defaults, and they
should lead to a readable buffer.
