I started to add nouveau, but then realized I can't find any evidence they've
ever tagged a release or posted a tarball for download, and we can't include
a git repo in the katamari for them, so it looks like as much as it would make
sense to include, it's not ready yet.

Makes sense, but like nouveau, you'll need to start tagging releases and
posting tarballs before then to be eligible.
