Might be helpful. Although Catalogue entries of new packages are
mostly adapted from CTAN-announcement texts which are, in turn, taken
from the README an author added to his package. So a hint to the Topic
Index would probably suffice. 

In fact, as I am not a mathematician nor a natural scientist nor a
computer scientist I often wonder where to put a highly specialised
package in the Topic Index. So, a hint by package authors might help.
