How/who decides what shared libraries and applications get into extras?
Voting and popularity has been talked about but what if there is a conflict
in a shared library and someone needs to make a call.

We need community members to check packages that are propsed for extras,
help agree on shared packaged etc. Would something like Ubuntu's membership
work?

Basically something like you demonstrate some involvement with the community
and agree to abide by it's rules before you can "join", people can vote to
kick you out if there's a problem.
