How plausible would a port of this Reddit post to the arch wiki be?

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments … directory/

There's this year-old post on /r/linux that aimed to index all applications that are yet to follow the XDG Base Directory folder structure. But it has since been archived.

My question is how plausible would it be to recreate and maintain it on the arch-wiki.

I imagine it would be very similar to the XDG Base Directory wiki, just doing the opposite.
I'd love to bring more attention to this as I personally have many applications that fail to follow the XDG base directory guidelines, making my home directory very cluttered.

Apologies if something like this already exists.

The XDG Base Directory page lists both applications that do and do not follow the standard.
