Hey everyone,
It was suggested as part of this year's spring cleanup of [community] that we should be have a cleanup in [core]/[extra] and move packages downwards into [community].
This round only concerns [extra] packages.
Devs that want the packages in [extra], please adopt packages, and TUs can notify which packages they are interested to maintain in [community]
Orphaned packages in [extra]:
a2ps aalib abook adwaita-icon-theme (Jan can you just take this?) antlr2 antlr4 arch-install-scripts
Formerly dreisner's package. I'm upstream for this. One could, however, ask if this fairly central bit of software should be relegated to community? If not, I could maintain it...
asp aspell-es bzflag c-ares chromaprint cln cmark convertlit cvs cvsps davfs2 dcraw enca expac
I'd maintain it...

pkgfile is optimized and better, faster, and more featureful than pacman -F, so it's quite worth keeping and I don't intend to stop using it any time soon. I'd be happy to maintain the package.
