Who should maintain that? There are no volunteers that can keep up to
this task, even if initial excitement is there. I don't see it happening
in the long and even mid term.

TER is open for everyone and creating such an extension can be done on a
case-by-case basis. If you prefer to create a "package", you can offer
that for download on your homepage, as GPL allows you to do. I doubt
that our release managers want to cope with this additional task.
