If the package is of general interest, then I don't see a problem with it being listed.Disagree - the jhbuild lists should reflect the official modules, otherwise people won't be sure of what they're meant to be testing, translating, etc.
If you want to build the Gnome desktop and nothing else, you just use ["meta-gnome-desktop"] as the list of modules you want to build. In fact, this is the default for the sample configuration files (and the default if you don't set modules in the configuration file).
