Is there a list somewhere of python packages that cover statistics and
econometrics which is not available in statsmodels or scipy.stats?

Is it possible to maintain a list in the statsmodels org, e.g. wiki,
doc pages or similar?

I'm thinking of special topics in statistics or econometrics for which
packages might not show up in the usual python data science and data
analysis lists.

A curated list that we can point to for things that we don't have
would be very useful, and we could even link to them in the
documentation, a bit similar to scipy.stats which refers to
statsmodels for extended functionality or topics that are not covered
by scipy.stats.

E.g. in some stackoverflow answers or comments I point to other
packages like lmfit or Kevin's packages for things that statsmodels
doesn't cover, but I have only a selected overview of what's
available.
I'm linking to some of those packages in issues, but those issues are
mostly oriented to what might or will be important for statsmodels
development and is almost completely filtered by BSD license
compatibility.

e.g. I just saw posthocs again in a semi-random github search
https://github.com/maximtrp/scikit-posthocs
In time series analysis there are several well maintained and popular
packages that are largely complementary to what is in statsmodels.
