Then I suppose it makes sense to ship an AppData file. How does a
plasmoid register itself as available? I'll likely have to create a
plasmoid.py helper in the appstream extractor code.

Sure. The only thing not covered in AppData for this case is an icon,
but that would be a very easy adjustment to the specification.

Sure, screenshots are a nice-to-have not mandatory.
