Sylpheed is already on SBo.  Librewolf is not.  You can add it yourself after submissions open when the 15.0 branch of SBo goes live.  There is no TODO list: if something you want is not already on SBo you are encouraged to submit it and be the maintainer.  Note that submitting a new package comes with the expectation that you will maintain it.

Sylpheed, yes.  Librewolf, no.  But see next question:

The 15.0 branch hasn't been released yet, but you can see the ongoing development in the master branch at:

https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/

The 14.2 branch is available from the same website, or of course you may browse at https://slackbuilds.org/
