Until someone has actually done that work, I believe the possibility of it
being done should be out of bounds for this Technical Committee
discussion, unless the intended implication is that the Policy maintainers
should go write such a tool (given that we're the ones affected directly
by the judgement of the TC here).
There are doubtless many things that could be done to make it easier for
maintainers who largely prefer desktop files to support the traditional
menu as well. Part of the reason why this bug was raised in Policy in the
first place is that none of them have actually happened, and that didn't
seem that likely to change.
