Hi!
I think, there are too few libraries in the extras and extras-testing
repositories. That makes porting applications much harder.
Dependency libraries must be uploaded to extras-devel and every
lib has to be promoted. To get applications which depend on many libs
promoted, is nearly impossible.
What can we do to get more into the extras repo, instead of promoting
every singe lib?

If a package gets promoted all dependencies are promoted too indeed. That's because a package can't be promoted to extras if one or more of it's dependencies can't be promoted to extras. Confusing eh? Just take for example SMS-Con. It's stable as it is but it can't be pushed to extras because of it's dependencies on qt.
