It's 2023 and pipewire-git is still missing pipewire gstreamer plugins.
Many have had tried to ask sl1pkn07, who is pipewire-git's maintainer,
to include pipewire gstreamer plugins multiple times, but all have been
rejected or ignored by sl1pkn07. Hence the creation of pipewire-common-git.

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge pipewire-common-git [2] into

pipewire-common-git is a later created deliberate duplicate of
pipewire-git, with a misleading name.
pipewire-common-git aligns with extra/pipewire, therefore the choosing
of "common".
@eh5, please submit your packaging ideas and suggestions on the
existing package's page instead of creating unnecessary duplicates.
@MarsSeed please do research and submit your suggestions to package's
page first instead of creating a merge request, which risks the package
being taking down if its maintainer didn't appeals (for any reason),
without understanding the full picture.
