I do not have any function in the FSF, yet I am sure that it is
commendable if you include some of GNU packages in some of free system
distributions if they are missing somewhere, you may always at least
propose for a package to be included. Or you could maintain such
package.

Some software programs are finished, the only time you wish to spend
there is either using it, learning about it or maybe improving it. But
not every piece of software need to be improved. It can just work.
