I fully agree with Justin on this one - its a positive to have Andrea looking after it, but perhaps not the right signal to move something based just on the quality of support. i think the community will recognise that value without forcing it into extensions prematurely. If there is an external driver to push something into supported status then lets have a PSC discussion about the implications.
