Erm, keeping a list like that up to date is a pain, so it will most likely 
always be out of date and thus have little use. Anything from CCRMA which meets 
Fedora's legal demands and is not in Fedora (nor in the review queue) is fair 
game, you can find all CCRMA packages available in the SRPMS dir (see below).

Erm yes the CCRMA srpms dir is a bit hidden, I'll add a link to it it the links 
section of the SIG wiki page (which already contains a link to planet CCRMA). 
The SRPMS are here:

The idea is to use CCRMA packages as a base. I'm currently working on the 
ladspa plugin packages. Other good candidates are jaaa and japa, but as said 
anything meeting the legal guidelines and not yet in Fedora or under review is 
fair game.

I'll leave the answer to this question up to Fernando.
