No idea, they should all be on this list, so they hopefully speak up.

We (Board, FESCo, Community) need to agree to use the term them. I
brought that discussion up some weeks ago, and Max seemed to like
"Fedora Package Repository" (see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00584.html
) and Stickster liked "Fedora Collection" (without package)
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00591.html
Anyway: Packaging/ is IMHO by far the best place in the wiki for most of
the current Extras/ pages, as new packagers don't care if a policy or
guideline was done and is maintained by the Packaging committee or by
FESCo -- most will probably prefer to have it nicely presented side my
side (that's a problem currently, too, as the review guidelines are in
Packaging/ and some other policies are in Extras/Policies/).
Further: The name Packaging makes it obvious what the pages are about --
the term Collection/ does not afaics.
