Presently in the Connectors library all the D-sub connectors are named with a "DB" prefix, which is incorrect except for DB-25. The second letter should specify the shell size. Further, there should be a hyphen between the shell size letter and the number of pins. See wikipedia for background.
e.g.:
Is
Should be
DB9_Female
DE-09_Female
DB15_Male
DA-15_Male
DB15_Male_HighDensity
DE-15_Male
Since this is a common confusion, it would be reasonable to add e.g. DB9 DB-9 DE9 DE-9 to the keywords for the DE-09, and to specify in the description whether the connector uses standard or high density pin spacing.
