I think there should be a top-level menu called "Minor Modes" or
something similar.

That would be very helpful in other cases too. I am not sure what
changes are needed to move most minor modes under this top-level menu.
Perhaps it can be done automatically in some cases, maybe by modifying
define-minor-mode.
