At least with Linux Mint stuff they're either parts of Cinnamon or 
needed to make Cinnamon run or form a more complete Cinnamon experience, 
which kind of falls under the gnome@ charter. This software isn't it.

The only reasons why it appears that you do more of the maintenance are 
my almost depleted cycles and long dogfooding periods (Cinnamon 5.0 is 
still in my own overlay, for instance, but soon to be 5.2).
