This is awesome Fred! I want it. Why not just ask for UI-review and land it? I guess my question actually is, how will voting help here? Is there a criteria for amount of votes before UX will consider to include a feature? At the very least, I would love to see it as an add-on. But since you already have done the work to include it in Gaia, why not just try and put it on the train?
