Unfortunately I think there is a BIG open question that needs fixing before doing anything like this: new bindings not used by any application yet remain in extras-devel until some application depends on it and that application is promoted to extras (taking the binding together with it). The same apply to newer versions of PyMaemo packages, that are still only in extras-devel because no package *explicitely* depends on it yet. The current QA policy (and confirmed by Niels (IIRC) when I asked on -developers) is to NOT manually promote non user/* packages to extras-testing. So any periodic purge of extras-devel would destroy such packages. Any ideas?
