I think otherwise. I find it a great idea. It just needs to be
carefully designed and implemented so that possible conflicts can be
handled. Most upstream developers are usually very collaborative and
open to new ideas, anyway.

I'd also go for some standardization of config parameters, like some
way of telling the games "open fullscreen/windowed whenever you can",
"Start game in silent mode by default" and things like that.
