Add-on Appdata Improvement Iniciative

A lot of apps packaged for Fedora have received their appdata files and have profiles in GNOME Software, but app add-ons (plugins, extensions,...) have been somehow forgotten. There are dozens of useful add-ons which are very useful to users, but don't have any appdata metafiles. Let's focus on them, so that users can not only easily install apps, but also their add-ons.

If you maintain a package with an add-on, note that according to the new packaging guidelines every add-on package should ship an appdata metafile: Packaging:AppData More info: Full upstream specification

Please if you know of an add-on which is not here yet, please add it. If you see incorrect information, fix it. If you think some add-on is not useful any more and shouldn't be exposed to users, state it in the Note column.

The goal is to create metafiles for all add-ons that miss them. You can file a bug against the package and ask the maintainer to create one or ideally create it and submit it to the maintainer in the bug report, and more ideally submit it upstream as well. Note that it won't be possible for all of them because some of them are single files without any dedicated repository. If you have done any of these actions, please state it in the Note column.
