I think most of these packages are created by uploading the PKGBUILD using burp or a similar AUR uploader. If the categories were to stay [1], it would be good if these uploaders or AUR rejected packages without a category.
[1] I don't think the caetgories are useful in the current state, because they don't represent natural grouping of existing software at all (eg. should a GTK utility be considered "gnome", "x11" or something else?). For this to work, tags would be in my opinion much more usable – given the packages were properly tagged, anyone could easily find packages such as "gtk multimedia player".
I think descriptions and dependencies include the required information in almost every case.
