       @saper @feld Hmm. Well, Font Awesome is no longer a free project. Fork Awesome is open to contributions and pull requests from the entire user and developer community, so that's a better place to request, make (and contribute!) icon additions.... https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-AwesomeIf you make the request there, it's likely that it will actually get merged in. (And Fork Awesome is packaged in Debian and its derivatives, so it's genuinely a widely-used community project, too)

       @qwazix yeah, that's the idea.btw, I've been informed that "FontAwesome" is not considered "open source" anymore so there's the "ForkAwesome" project and I opened an accompanying issue there:https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/197

       @feld it's still open source license-wise, but they don't accept contributions and their build system is private so that's a dead end. Fork awesome however seems a valid target. I will go that way.
