Name of the software abcde
Homepage https://abcde.einval.com/
Why we should include this into the repository, i.e. what does it do that the alternatives do not? It's the currently most widely used CD ripping software among audiophiles and music enthusiasts, it has lots of features and its development is still active.
Is it open source? Absolutely, GNU GPL v2: https://git.einval.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=abcde.git;a=blob_plain;f=COPYING;hb=HEAD

Can you please give me an idea of what makes this more useful that the handful of other CD rippers we already have?

Being the only one allowing easy lossless ripping, and being somewhat widely used among audiophiles.
