I'm sure that SPI would pick this up, since you and Michael are
heavily involved in SPI.
However, I am not sure that we should ask SPI to pick this up.
It sounds more like it's mostly our idea which we are claiming they
can use, without a visible need beforehand. I've found that getting
stuff without a need seen often leads to unused stuff... and I'm
worried that once you and Michael become less active, this could be
forgotten.
