Roughly accurate list added from a simple repoquery ( some of which that 
I know already have submitted unit files )  and a tracker bug created 
751869.

Note dont just start blindly working on that list I probably will create 
a wikipage on my namespace similar to what I used for F15/F16 so this 
can be worked on in somekind of orderly fashion to prevent more then one 
person working on converting/packaging the same unit files.

If you are a proven packager you can start with what was submitted in 
F15/F16 as in going through the old tracker bug 713562.

Unit's created in F17 will be reflecting current state of systemd most 
notably we no longer will be using /var/run/, instead we will be using 
/run where applicable and we will be dropping After=syslog.target since 
it's no longer necessary which afaik will make the submitted unit files 
incompatible with F15 ( Lennart feel free to correct me if I wrong 
here... ).

Ofcourse already submitted and shipped unit files should be updated 
accordingly...
