We don't have "procedure" for feature requests. It happens often that
someone dreams aloud like I did above, and it's OK as long as "it
shouldn't be hard to implement" is understood as "one day I should do
it" and not "hey, you lazy devs, why don't you code that for me?" ;-).

But in general, people get more interested when a proposal has a patch
attached.

I've added the idea here:

  https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SmallProjectsIdeas

(except I already changed my mind in the syntax)

I may get some students to work on this in May, or do it myself one day.
