Let me rephrase that. I think that if we convince external repository
maintainer to drop their repo and use our infra (IMHO that is 95% of
the work), then we could easily convince them to submit their package
for review here.

Sure, more is needed, I couldn't agree more. We need those 3rd party
repo maintainers to join us like we did with the original merger. The
real question is what they are going to do. I think we can start
inviting them (or inviting them again) on this mailing list and start
discussing with them this question.

Bye,

Andrea.
