I looked at that blog and do not think that a list of packages fits
there. It is no story that one wants to read as a biologically inclined
user. I suggest to wait for publications on that blog once we are at a
workflow level.
Another concern of mine is that if it is that routine publications of
Debian-related work we should have on Debian's infrastructure. So, I am
happy to contribute a shortish article about what we are doing for
publication on our collaborator's blog, but that should not be a mere
list of packages.

That is actually an interesting story in itself. For these renames etc
it is why one needs the RRIDs. At the moment, the linking from OMICtools
to Debian is done via the URL of the package tracker's page. It would be
nice if we could have that tracker page also find a package by its RRID
- but then again, I am busy and I do not know if our community is ready
to accept these external identifiers everywhere, yet. It may for
instance be more important for our Debian at large to reference the name
of the same package in RedHat or SuSE than to refer to an external resource.

And you want to do that every month? Or you want to read that as an
OMICgroups user every month? Package-lists are the very expertise of
OMICtools and they clearly stated that they do not want to publish these
themselves - let us find something else to blog about. How about a tool
indicating the coverage of Debian Med, Debichem and Debian Science in
OMICtools over time?

Hm. I did not have access to that page.
Best,
