We should only move packages to [community] if a TU is interested in
adopting them. Otherwise, we should move them to AUR (or keep them in
[extra]) as it will won't solve the problem of orphaned packages in
repo. So if a TU is interested in some of these packages, they should
let us know which one they wants.

i18n packages. Low maintenance. Should remain in repo [extra] or
[community] either as adopted or orphaned.
