Back on topic: One user talking on an ML does not make a package important. I have not yet run into a site that requires moonlight/silverlight. So, until we're actually going to get usage out of this package, putting it in extra is wasted effort. Now, if we have a dev willing to do it, that's fine - I'd recommend asking the mono maintainer or something of the sort. But considering it's not in the repos yet, I don't think we have any devs that care that much.
Ok, after all this discussion on this topic, I think I can manage the moonlight package. I will have a look into the moonlight package. I will open a new thread about this later on the public-dev-mailinglist, if it's necessary to discuss further things. moonlight isn't a big package and it belongs (more or less) to mono, so I can handle it together with mono.
The proper course for things of this nature is to put it in the AUR, and we can garner some need from that.
