A word to user about contrib/unsupported repository

I’d extend a bit more this point, like adding something along the lines of:

– If you usually install a package from contrib/unsupported repository and find that currently it is properly working you are more than welcome to recommend it to us, as most likely it will be moved to /main;

– If you usually install a package from contrib/unsupported repository, you find that it is very close to current release version (please always check the project homepage and the source download) and you know for sure it worked until some time ago but at this time got some issues, then make an update request. In such a case please be ready to support the developers willing to take the task with testing;

– If you find a package in /main repository, currently obsoleted by a new more efficient one which may be a good replacement, then let us know (please provide a brief description, the project homepage and if possible the source download link)

Maybe the same could work for contrib/unsupported…

.
This is what came to my mind at the first thought, may need to add or reword (or to discuss or also to reject)
