I've created a new category, "Spatial and Geographic Objects",
and added PostGIS and all other PostGIS-related extensions to it.

(The reason why it wasn't found automatically is because there is no .control-file is the root dir,
and its Makefile didn't contain a PGXS line.)

I agree, it needs to be curated, lots of noise.
I'm working on it, hopefully others will join in.
