I think the GNOME proposal does do what you are requesting. I don't understand your comment about desktop environments needing special icons. For most distros, there is only one icon: Fedora is Fedora no matter what desktop environment you use. I would expect a desktop environment about system dialog to show this new os-release distro icon and fall back to a generic icon (like the GNOME foot) if there is no os-release icon. /etc/os-release is about system-level stuff. For instance, Ubuntu and Kubuntu have the same /etc/os-release file. If Kubuntu wants to show a different system logo, it can just ship its version in its default icon theme. Or Debian-based distros can use the update-alternatives system. Despite the discussion on the GNOME bug, I don't think anyone has proposed the addition to either this list or systemd yet.
