This list/repository is intended to be for software that's wayland-native in some way. As far as I understand, Xfce is based on the VTE terminal, which has nothing wayland-native to it. I wasn't able to find source code for the xfce terminal though, so I'm open to feedback if my information on it is incorrect!
I'm not particularly informed on this, but IIRC, VTE is just a library that serves as the interface for GNOME Terminal. It has a few Wayland-specific patches, but since GNOME Terminal is just a GTK application anyways, it tends to run fine on Wayland without much help.
The same goes for Xfce Terminal - it has relatively few patches related to Wayland, but runs just fine without any Xwayland nonsense. In my view, it should hit any guidelines you may have for this repo. :)
By the way, you can see the Xfce Terminal source here: https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal
Okay cool! Thank you for explaining that. In that case I think it's a great addition - thank you for submitting it!
Xfce Terminal works flawlessly on Wayland sessions. It's also easy to configure graphically despite offering dozens of different options.
