Just open submit request(s).

Thanks Dmitriy, I am a total noob ... do you have a link or howto for me to do so?

1. Find package via https://software.opensuse.org/search 2. Press openSUSE Tumbleweed, official release 3. Login, press Submit package 4. Set openSUSE:Leap:42.2 as target project 5. Write some description 6. Press OK :)

Just opening submit requests if you do not know what you are doing is NOT the answer. By submitting you are telling everyone that you are capable and willing to update the package should a security issue or major bug be found and you are saying that your willing to look after that package for the lifetime of Leap. What is a better solution is to first ask the existing tumbleweed maintainer if they are willing to submit it, if they are not listen to there concerns and if you believe that someone else maybe willing to address those concerns then post to this list asking if someone will maintain it for you. Alternatively you may be willing to learn how to do packaging in that case speak to the current maintainer if they exist and ask how to help out.
