As someone who listens to a lot of niche artists, I was upset, that not all albums were present in MusicBrainz. So I came up with a solution.
Meet Lidarr++Deemix!

This tool helps to enrich Lidarr, by providing a custom proxy, that hooks into the process without modifying Lidarr itself, and injects additional albums from deemix.

That looks like a cool addition. Did you test the compatibility with arr-scripts, which can download tracks from Deezer?
MusicBrainz is an open database and everyone can enrich their metadata. If you like a niche artist and their information is not complete, you can help other users by adding the missing albums to MusicBrainz.

There’s also userscripts to automate a lot of the process of importing data from Discogs into Musicbrainz.

I haven’t had much success with the arr-scripts, whereas with the lidarr:plugins + deemix I had.
I did not test it, but It should work, since it only pulls the metadata, and is not involved in the download process at all.

Regarding enriching MB. Honestly, I don’t have time for that.
I’m from one of the slavic countries and there are so many missing albums, it’d take me a lifetime to contribute.
