name
aws-cli
url
https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
why
Allows management of aws resources via command line rather than web interface. Nothing similar in repository already. It isn't very difficult to install their binaries but it would be nice to get it via eopkg more easily.
open source?
Yes - https://github.com/aws/aws-cli
Looking at specifically the v2 branch
who
Unsure on number of users but anyone in devops / sysadmin / web development could find this useful. We manage aws for most of our clients and use this tool extensively.
tarball

Also see my gist for my locally built version. It is my first foray into solbuild and so I am not sure if it conforms to your methods. There is the aws-cli-prebuilt_package.yml which just uses their prebuilt binary as well as the python3 installed version which has some linked dependencies. The python version is slightly weird because botocore v2 branch is not on pypi yet and has no tags in the repo. I am also unsure if upgrading python-prompt-toolkit may affect other packages out there as it wasn't in use on my system currently.
