To be honest, I don't think we should go there, for several reasons. 1. These are not commonly used aspect ratio's in photography (in general). 2. Most users (I'm guessing) only sporadically export social website cover images, so these are only useful, if you are using either of these services, and then only occasionally. 3. Darktable allows users to specify whatever custom ratio they want (so not having these built-in does not stop anybody from exporting cover images, it's only a very minor convenience). 4. Too many built-in aspect ratio's clutter the list and makes the list less useful instead of more useful. The aspect ratio's included into Darktable, should (in my view) be relatively commonly used.
