No problem. I must say it's always a pleasure to work with motivated
packagers, and you had the good taste to select a much needed font set
in the wishlist (not the easiest to package, congratulation). You
probably want to talk with Jens Petersen (juhp) to check if the
Internationalization project does not want some of those fonts on by
default distro-wide BTW.

Please continue packaging fonts!

I'd probably work a little more on the package descriptions, so not two
of them are 100% the same, and add a few fontconfig rules in the lot,
but I'm a perfectionnist (in case you've not noticed yet).

Lastly (and this applies to other new packagers) you can drop all the
blue frames from a font wiki page when the font is done and published.
The blue frames are only there as redaction help, so you don't need to
keep them long-term.
