Currently each package's PTS page lists RFA'd packages among dependencies and I think this is a good way for notifying interested maintainers about RFA-s. Maybe listing RFS-s would also drive interested maintainers towards sponsoring some uploads and even starting to work with the new contributors. Cheers, Balint PS: I assume that PTS support is not there since backupninja's PTS page does not list RFS for hwinfo.
