CoMaps (FOSS Navigation, Organic Maps fork)

I know this thread kind of turned into a licensing, open vs. proprietary, and governance debate, but as pieces of software I’ve been using both for a bit and CoMaps is just nicer to use in several ways, with a bit more polish and several useful features. It’s like if Organic Maps was a year ahead in development.
With that said, is there anything preventing the listing of CoMaps on its own merits as of now? I’m satisfied using it as my main navigation app and I would love to see it as a recommendation, especially since I feel it’s currently more usable than Organic Maps. I’m not currently suggesting it replace Organic Maps, I just don’t see why it can’t be listed alongside it since the team behind it has shown their willingness to follow through on maintaining the fork and developing it further in my opinion.
