Pierre this sounds like a wonderful idea but I don't think it's anything that requires the PMC. I'm sure you could do a wonderful job and the community would value your contribution. It's always important to remember that everyone is capable of contributing and as a community we should all feel free to lead the charge in any changes we'd like to see. It also important in an open source community where all time is donated that we don't try and unnecessarily burden others with requests that we could easily perform ourselves.
