I've read most of this thread, and I'm still confused as to how ever vote or demote an app that is currently in Extras?
Using your example of Load-applet. That should definitly not be in extras cause it doesn't have the functionality it should.
Another one that I have found is MasterGear which is in Extras-testing. Now for me and loads of others this emu doesn't ever open any ROMs. In my eyes that is failed testing, and should be moved back.

However it's not clear on how or what we as community members need to do for this to happen.

Thanks
