I'm not. The StatusNotifier spec is seriously flawed, and I don't want to support it unless at least the issues that were raised ten years ago are addressed (the spec was put up for "review" on xdg-list, but then any comments were hand-waived away with "if you don't like it, don't implement it"). Seriously, the spec is so crappy that there are two implementations that are both compliant, but interpret the spec in different and incompatible ways (see the implementation-specific handling in [0]). If we want to support something *like* appindicators, it must be a new and fixed API[1] that apps can port to, not the existing API, sorry.
