You could also substitute "divided into" to "comprised of". I agree also 
that the "divided as" brings up a negative feeling and should maybe be 
reconsidered.

In my opinion I don't think that making a list of the types of support 
that a user could bring to the project would be necessary. Otherwise you 
would be constantly fielding requests to add a particular support 
category to the list. I think that the line:

"- Users, or those who add value to the project through their support as 
users of Mageia"

is adequate enough to most people. You will get fewer questions 
regarding this line than the list of user support categories.
