I'll do it! (I used various Atari STs from 1987 to 1997...)

Since there's GPL ROMs available[1], and the commonly used FreeMiNT kernel is apparently a mix of GPL and BSD[2], and most anything open source has been ported, and even packaged into RPMs[3], seems to me any Atari ST series emulator should be okay in Extras. ARAnyM can even run Linux/68k[4]. Anyone disagree? Do we need a FESCo blessing?
