While your policy is good, I couldn't find stuff we could merge, I mean, it
makes sense to require all default apps to have 64x64 icons, but it might
not make sense to force this on all apps we show on Software.
Also, since my list says an app must be removable / installable from GNOME
Software it means apps must conform with your list to conform with mine.

Either way, I copied it over to the wiki with minor edits and fixes:

Feel free to merge these lists as you see fit.
