This was briefly touched on during a livestreamed discussion between
the relevant Debian developers at Debconf less than 24 hours ago.
I think it was this one:
https://debconf22.debconf.org/talks/44-debian-installer-and-images-team-bof/
I think it is usual practice for this kind of video to become
available for viewing
on demand in the near future.
My recollection of the discussion is that Gunnar's work is welcomed
by the installer team. And it is hoped and expected by all parties to move
towards becoming official as a next step with the passage of time.
However this move is not an immediate priority, as there are other
changes under discussion regarding the installer, that are currently
considered to be more important.
