Extra package cleanup

Goals and ideas

• A cleanup of the extra repository
• Currently we have 441 orphans packages in [extra] (any, i686, x86_64)
• Reduce the packaging work load of the developers
• Minimise the number of apps per task
• TUs are easier to appoint and find, it makes sense to move some of the workload to the community repo
• Games should all go to community (except those that come with KDE and Gnome)

Packages list

This packages will be moved to Unsupported, if you want to keep it in [extra] simply cross it out. Adoption is not required (but would be nice). If you are a TU and you want to maintain a package in [community] DO NOT cross it out, but add it to DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_to_.5Bcommunity.5D
