That is how ArchLinux works:
The developers are volunteers who choose for themselves which packages
they maintain. Community is run by Trusted Users (also volunteers), Extra
is for "official" developers.
AUR is a sort-of public playground; anyone can publish PKGBUILDS there.
If $dev decides to adopt Vivaldi for example, it might show up in Extra.
If no dev decides to do this, then it won't show up in Extra either.
