What's the policy on new packages in the BLFS book?

For instance I discovered an editor, called Bluefish, and introduced a
number of LFSers to it, with good reports.  BLFS doesn't have a tabbed
desktop-independent X-windows editor designed for markup and syntax
highlighting (I know emucks can do everything, thanks)

I considered a hint, and I could still do that, but also considered a
patch to the svn book - which I'll probably do anyway just as an
exercise.  I positively dislike hints now, as I personally find the
text-only format very hard to read.

However, is there any mileage in new packages?  I'm aware that a
submitter will also need to be a maintainer - and to do that as patch
submissions - which is OK.

Another thought occurs - how about an optional xml format for hints, so
they could be rendered as html, pdf or text?  - more thinking required
on that I think...
