"The ncurses guys" is Thomas Dickey, who frequents a number of lists and newsgroups, and who would probably be willing to discuss it with you. Contact information is here: http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ Look for "Who's Who and What's What". You might also consider joining the bug-ncurses-request mailing list, which is "open to anyone interested in helping with the development and testing of this package." I would imagine the process would be more a matter of convincing Thomas to accept the concept, the design, and any patches you would submit, rather than "the ncurses guys" adding this support themselves.
