Maybe the packages aren't well known, so there is a secondary mission: advertise those programs among the public and people that has power to push them into the official repositories.
The process to a "better" spot should be started by the maintainer, openSUSE users barely make public demands, if they find something not satisfying they live with it, go somewhere else or complain loudly on decisions announced and discussed long time ago =(
But sometimes users are also vocal and have some influence on openSUSE policies. The openFATE system (https://features.opensuse.org) allows to request features and packages. Requests are evaluated by somebody, and can be voted. This allows community involvement. I'm thinking about going this way, and request several currently unavailable MIDI packages, not only mine.
