I have been around with a doubt in my mind. While i see many good tools in the net, i could not figure it out why they cannot be come default in openbsd dist.
In general this page explains the story in general about particular software products:

For instance, i am very confortable with tools like qmail and djbdns.
As for these two programs in particular, they're both mentioned specifically on that FAQ page because of their restrictive licensing.
I ask because i love programming and i am very confident about my work.
Certainly looking through the ports tree for the specific apps you have in mind is a good place to start. If you want to see a particular app included in OpenBSD, licensing permitting, the best place to start contributing in most cases is by making a port of that application, submit it to the ports@ list and see what the response is.
If you have a look at undeadly.org, there's a slide presentation there now that shows how quickly the ports tree has / is growing.
Lastly, it would probably serve you well to have a closer look through the FAQs to see if there are other similar things you might have in mind that might be addressed there.
