System Information
Windows 10, GTX1080Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.79a
Worked: probably never

Short description of error
In input preferences, under 3D View category, there is Weight Paint and Weight Paint Vertex selection category, and Vertex Paint but no Vertex Paint selection category. The mesh element selection category for Vertex Paint is labeled as "Face Mask", with no implication that it is directly related to Vertex Paint mode, which can lead user to an assumption that Vertex Paint Mode face selection input mapping can not be customized.

Face Mask is shared between Vertex Paint, Weight Paint and Texture Paint (can be used in all 3 modes), so imho it makes sense to have this separated.
It only handles face selections and has nothing to do with vertex selections (e.g. hiding or select linked are not for vertices).
For clarity, this could be named "Paint Face Mask (Vertex, Weight and Texture Paint)" in the UI.

Weight Paint Vertex Selection is available for Weight Paint and Vertex Paint, and I agree that should be reflected in the category names
For clarity, this could be named "Paint Vertex Mask (Vertex and Weight Paint)" in the UI.

Also the description of use_paint_mask_vertex is also still misleading, saying "Vertex selection masking for painting (weight paint only)"

I could work on a patch here, but would kindly ask @ideasman42 if there is anything speaking against that?
Also asking @WilliamReynish, @JulianEisel , would that be desireable?

Corrected, see 27adc4aa33

For the others, I made D6797: Fix #54323: Improve Paint category names in keymap preferences
