Hi, due to previous efforts we have a pretty good appdata coverage of apps themselves, but add-ons (plugins, extensions,...) lag far behind. There are dozens of useful GUI app add-ons in Fedora repositories which don't have metadata files and are not exposed to users in GNOME Software. Let's focus on them.
The goal of this iniciative is to have a metadata file for every useful add-on (for a GUI app) that is in Fedora repositories, so that those add-ons appear in app profiles in Software and are easily discoverable and installable for users.

I'd love to see more people attempting this. I started on a few of these a while ago, but got disheartened when I got responses like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267628#c2 when I provided patches.
Richard, is there any way we can carry metadata like this outside of the actual SRPM when maintainers are unwilling to accept the metadata in their package?
