Like I said, there is a wiki page but typically package maintainers are
maintaining packages they actively care about directly. I have tried in
the past maintaining packages based on wishlists and it doesn't work as
well. Hence the pointer to copr instead of the wiki page
I think I'm still not getting my point across. It might be convenient
to have a centralised place for users to request packages, and
currently there isn't (you've mentioned a Wiki page several times but
not provided a URL, so maybe this already exists and I don't know about
it). Nothing would constitute an obligation of course, but
devels/packagers looking for interesting projects could perhaps use
such a list to get some ideas. That's all.
