anaconda just shows the available package groups defined in comps: it's 
up to the mate maintainers to get a mate group added to comps. They 
could file a bug against the comps component in Bugzilla with a patch to 
add a group for mate; they could also ask the comps maintainer (Bill 
Nottingham) to give one of them commit privileges to comps for the 
purpose of keeping the mate group up to date, I believe this is standard 
procedure (we make sure someone from the maintenance group for each 
desktop has comps access).
