I think that those packages are fine, as long as even potentially
usable to somebody.

If package is not in Debian GNU/Linux, for me this indicates nothing
that relates to GNU packages, unless there is some specific discussion
related to such specific package, or if there is specific bug report.

You are free to become maintainer for GNU distributions, you can apply
as maintainer and include some of those packages in various GNU
distributions. Why not? Majority of such distributions are founded on
voluntary work anyway. You can do it.
