At least with the two items you mentioned. Neither of them has been proposed for
GNOME yet. Nautilus-Sendto is a very recent feature, which I am hoping to see
merged into Nautilus at some point soon (Nautilus Maintainers might share a
different view). I personally want to merge the contact applet into
gnome-applets for 2.10 even if I have to fork my own version!! (ok, so I'm
kidding about the forking).

Basically when the release cycle reached it's milestone last time, their
maintainers didn't consider the software ready, and so it wasn't proposed.
However keep the faith, and wait to see what we get in "GNOME 10".
