Thanks for the review, but is there an actual criteria that says that the project must be updated/newly released within 5 years? I couldn't find that or i just missed it(even though i checked multiple times now..) In a case there is not, this should be added to the criteria for the Extras bucket to the issue template.

All the formal criteria are available above in description of the issue created by yourself, and I have no single idea why do you ignore them.
I pointed out a non-compliance with the requirements, so please read my comment more carefully.

The passage about the lack of new versions for the last five years is my subjective skeptical remark.
I don't support the idea "put everything into the several official buckets" at all.
Less popular and/or niche apps could find their place in the curated personal buckets, and become available for the community as well.

Yeah very nice and all, but if i think that some app is good i try and suggest it first in the official buckets... if it gets rejected i just do the manifest myself in my own repo and that's it, no big deal for me!
