Currently, pages built from JSON content cannot be put into categories, preventing contributors to group them.
Based on work done for special fields like license and description, we could add a "categories" array at the root of the JSON, containing a list of categories the data belongs to.

[mediawiki/extensions/JsonConfig@master] Add categories support for tabular content
Hello Aklapper, thanks for your contribution here and your email.
However, I'm not sure I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion I'm the blocking factor on this issue: the patch I've posted in 2019 is still waiting to be reviewed by a maintainer of the JsonConfig extension.
I'm still volunteer to work on it so it can be mainlined - or of course, discarded if it's not a wanted improvement. Since you're working for WMF, is there any chance you could raise a flag internally on this patch?
I'm reverting the tag from "Patch needs improvement" to "Patch for review" for now.
Setting Patch-Needs-Improvement as the patch in Gerrit has a merge conflict, so it needs improvement.
Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers , it seems that "Product Infrastructure" is supposed to steward the codebase. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Product/Component_responsibility#Extensions says that it's not actively developed... :-/
