So, @Matyej167, @gorilla warrior, myself and probably a few others have published a few topics in the Wishlist subsection to ask people about their ideas for possible future packs, and I've been wondering for a while what it would look like if we looked at the results from all those threads, compared them and tried to guess what kind of packs could actually be made out of those.
For clarification, I will only use topics where forum members votes were counted and sorted out, and if one isn't up to date I will use the last update of the original post as a point of reference rather than count all votes myself. I will also count out the wishlists that were not associated with a dlc idea, such as the ones about clades.
@Matyej167's wishlists:
Final DLC
Certainly the biggest of the bunch with nearly 50 voters if I counted correctly, probably because of its theme but also because it allows for 30 votes. That being said, I will still use the traditional 5 to 8 animals per pack model here.
With that, we get muskox (22 votes), secretary bird (20 votes), Goodfellow's tree kangaroo (17 votes + 3 votes for any tree kangaroo), South American coati (14 votes + 4 votes for any coati) for a very unfocused scenery pack, or we can add walrus (17 votes), Patagonian mara (14 votes + 2 for any mara) and grey crowned crane (15 votes) for a complete animal pack, which certainly sounds much more appealing.
The main candidate as an exhibit animal would be the scarlet macaw (5 votes + 6 for any macaw), though if a dlc with 5 walkthrough/aviary animals following the Grasslands model was followed, it could be accompanied with yellow and blue (3 votes), hyacinth (2 votes) and military (1 vote) macaws, and a fifth one to be determined. If the macaws were to be discarded for being flying birds, then the next candidates would be panther chameleon (3 votes + 5 for any chamelon) or king cobra (7 votes).
Safari DLC
The main candidates would be the secretary bird (20 votes and also the main candidate to be the pack's mascot with 3 votes), honey badger (19 votes), serval (19 votes), and grey crowned crane (15 votes) in case of a scenery pack, to which we would have to add the Nile crocodile (9 votes), greater kudu (8 votes) and either the masai giraffe, gerenuk or rock hyrax (7 votes) for an animal pack.
The main candidate for an exhibit animal would be Jackson's chameleon (8 votes + 2 for any chameleon).
Coastal DLC
Here we have sea otter (just like the secretary bird above, 20 votes and main candidate to be the pack's mascot with 3 votes), walrus (19 votes), brown pelican (9 votes + 1 for any pelican) and marine iguana (9 votes) for a scenery pack, and the southern elephant seal (8 votes), coconut tree crab (7 votes + 1 for any crab) and either green sea turtle or West Indian manatee (6 votes each) for an animal pack.
For an exhibit pack, the main choices would be Christmas island red crab (2 votes + 1 for any crab) or barred mudskipper (2 votes + 1 for any mudskipper).
Temperate DLC
In this one we get American black bear (13 votes, main candidate as pack mascot with 2 votes), raccoon dog/tanuki and short-beaked echidna (10 votes each) and North American porcupine (9 votes) in case of a scenery pack, accompanied with wild turkey, golden snub-nosed monkey and wapiti/elk (6 votes each) if it's an animal pack.
The main candidates for an exhibit would be either the tuatara (4 votes) or another Grasslands style 5 exhibit animal thing with hummingbirds, with the ruby-throated, black-chinned, Anna's, Costa's and Allen's hummingbirds each getting 1 vote, plus 4 for "any hummingbird".
East Asia DLC
Most recent one in this group, we get the tanuki/raccoon dog (7 votes + 1, and most popular candidate as a mascot with 3 votes), golden snub-nosed monkey (7 votes), mandarin duck (6 votes) and either Père David's deer or Chinese aligator (5 votes each) for a scenery pack. For an animal pack, the choices would be two out of the three between demoiselle crane, Reeve's muntjac and Japanese serow (4 votes each).
As for exhibit animals, the main candidates would be the Chinese or Japanese giant salamanders (1 vote each + 1 for any giant salamander) or the Chinese crocodile lizard (2 votes).
Others:
Latin America DLC: closed
Rainforest and Domestic DLC's: results not counted
My wishlists:
South Asia DLC
My very first and most successful one. Our main candidates are the blackbuck (15 votes, also the main candidate as a mascot with 4 votes), lion-tailed macaque (12 votes), gaur (9 votes) and either honey badger (8 votes) or Northern plains/Hanuman gray langur (7 votes + 1 for any langur) for a scenery pack. An animal pack would add the nilgai (7 votes) and either the fishing cat or the axis deer/chital (6 votes each).
The main candidate for an exhibit animal would be the king cobra (9 votes + 3 for any cobra).
Tundra DLC
This time, we have the return of the muskox (12 votes) as well as the walrus (11 votes and main candidate as a mascot with 5 votes), Arctic hare (9 votes) and Western rockhopper penguin (5 votes + 1 for any penguin) as the main candidates for a scenery pack. For an animal pack, we can also include the Atlantic puffin and sea otter (5 votes each) as well as either the leopard seal or king eider (4 votes each).
Finally, the main candidate for an exhibit animal would be the Norway lemming (7 votes + 1 for any lemming), but if that's not possible because rodents don't belong in exhibits we have the wood frog (1 vote).
Others:
Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean Sea DLC's: not enough votes
@gorilla warrior's wishlists:
Highlands DLC
This last wishlist would contain the domestic yak (5 votes, and just as much putting it as the main candidate as a mascot) and, if it's a scenery pack, three out of the four between the rock hyrax, Himalayan monal, guanaco and gelada (5 votes each). For an animal pack, in addition to all of the previously mentioned candidates, it would add the Alpine marmot and mountain goat (4 votes each).
The main candidates as an exhibit animal would be either the Japanese giant salamander (4 votes) or, if it's considared more suited to be a habitat animal, the adder (2 votes).

Pinniped wishilist: clade centric wishlist not meant for a dlc
Ok, it took me a while but hopefully it was an informative and not too boring read. Also, don't hesitate to go on those various topics to give your opinion if you haven't done so already!
