Description
The action dropdown inside of a model's list only accepts a flat list of the actions (as seen in actions example here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/contrib/admin/actions/#actions-as-modeladmin-methods)
It would be nice to be able to structure this drop-down with opt-groups https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp
As a suggestion, the "format" for this could be similar to the way Choices are made as seen in the example for MEDIA_CHOICES here
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.choices

This should already be possible overriding ModelAdmin.get_action_choices() (src)
This returns an iterable to be assigned to the form field's choices, so grouping them works as expected:
Historically, e.g. #19235, requests have centred around not using a select at all, since the number of actions is typically low, so I don't think expanding the documentation here is worthwhile.
