I also agree.  One more thing we need is:
- Define a clear process for removing games from the "GNOME Games"
maintained list.

Note of course removing games does not remove them forever.  It just
means that the GNOME Games team would no longer make releases / ensure
they are bug free.

The number/type of games we could support would be based on the
currently active GNOME Games maintainers and developers.
