And you have, Felipe? Let us see the years of experience you surely have
in the field.

It's not an outlandish thought, in fact, I'd suggest it as probable -
provided that they find the projects to be stable and of high quality.
You, or someone else, might have to tap them on the shoulder and play
nice to _ensure_ they know about them (after all, we all know that
packagers _never_ read READMEs, do they), but you're capable of that,
I'm sure.
