There's been some discussion about making a new desktop seed for Universe packages. I believe a main driver is to allow those of us who've been working on gnome-shell but aren't Core or MOTU yet to avoid having to get everything sponsored. Also, since ~ubuntu-desktop already has commit rights to the GNOME stuff in main, it makes sense that they have the rights to the GNOME part of universe too. Here's a proposed starter list from ricotz and me:
