Ideally all of them, as (a) there are not many activities in Fructose 
and (b) concluding from this thread that the packagers would be happy 
about it.

Absolutely, that should be documented. I leave this to the activity 
maintainers and packagers to define that policy and adding a wiki page 
for it - as those are the ones that need to follow it and request it. If 
those people agree that this is what should be done they should make 
this happen as an outcome of this thread. Personally I think it is worth it.
