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".
