I had the same question, as kronometer uses a svgz icon too. I ended up
uploading 22x22 and 48x48 png icons (exported by inkscape from the svg
one), since that's what all the other applications do in [1].

No idea. Best to ask it in kde-i18n-doc list.

I think you can ignore this field.

extractappdata.py (in the extractappdata folder) is supposed to generate
them, but I couldn't manage to make it work (seems a bit outdated). I ended
up creating the _generated.json by hand. The only two fields required in
there should be "category" and "generic name".
