Earlier in the thread it was clear that people are proposing a Mozilla-wide policy. The Reps module owner has already replied here.
I also already mentioned that we used to have to put a pin in a map and it was a pain. The Reps use-case is not to find out where the person you're looking for is located, it is to find Reps located where you are looking. As unlikely as that use-case is to be, we have it. I think there is also a similar case in Mozillians, I have used it more than once to try to find someone in a region for help with an event.
