They will appear eventually but arent really a priority at this stage! That said they could be a good project for someone who wants to get into
helping out with packaging. gnome-music is already on ppa:ricotz/testing, so just need to be rebased against the release tarball. gnome-maps
should just be a simple single binary package (see for example gnome-weather package, it will be similar to that)
