Not that I know of.  It's all very ad-hoc and things get lost & 
forgotten.

<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Wishlist> is the closest 
thing we have to an ‘official’ list.

While a structured approach would be much better than our wiki 
page, I prefer that wiki page over *our* bug tracker.

Please, if you see any package requests on the (bug) mailing 
lists, tell them about it and help keep it up to date.

That would be nice.  I do wonder if making things shinier will 
suffice to lure those elusive packaging gnomes.

Kind regards,
