Okay.

It's okay to keep the -extra ports.  What I meant was to rename the
-basic ports so noto-sans-basic becomes noto-sans for example.

That's up to you as maintainer.  I would keep them apart because they
have different releases, version numbers and different upstreams.  For
NotoEmoji there are also additional weights you could put in an -extra
port:
