I believe the Workstation WG decided to drop gnome-maps from the

I seem to recall having a conversation last cycle where we agreed to leave Maps out and wait 6 months for it to mature. I think that's happened now, which is one reason why I'm supporting its inclusion.
That's my recollection, too. +1 to bringing back Maps.

I thought the point of gnome-software was to make apps discoverable without default installation. I believe that if you type "map" in the overview you get prompted to install maps, which is great. Having a "search provider" recognize an address typed in to the overview and then prompting a maps install would be great too (don't think it does this now). Ultimately, "intents" (a la android) would be cool for x-app installation/discovery (then contacts could ask for a map, or whatever).
However, I fail to see how including gnome-maps furthers the goal of workstation appealing to developers. As a result, and because it is quite discoverable) I would argue against inclusion by default.
