Perhaps some concrete examples of packages you have in mind might be=20 useful. I list in the footnote[1] a couple I originally merged from=20 sunrise, that are now in-tree.

Of course in your case the ebuilds aren't in the tree yet, but bug=20 numbers for apps you believe fit the "popular" description might be=20 useful. "Popular packages" is a nebulous enough term on its own, that=20 some examples might help. Also, an example or two of what you might consider a borderline case,=20 that you might consider adding if the load on the proposed project wasn't= =20 too high already, but would reject if it was. Feel free to add comments=20 or explanations on how you came to that conclusion, both for the popular=20 and borderline examples, as well, if you think it necessary. .....
