And I think that applies to the majority of Emacs Lisp users, -->, m-buffer-match, m-buffer-replace-match say nothing, they do not even suggest what they do. It's not a bad metric either! Yes, there are many people downloading It is a terrible metric, Emacs isn't a popularity contest.

Happy to hear the criteria that you would apply. The same critera that is used when anything is added to Emacs. I think that has and is working well, people give their input, you try to convince the maintainer(s) that it makes sense and follows their idea of what is "Emacs', and it gets added to Emacs if so.
