For new features like this, I think you need to convince the Global
Maintainers as a group that there is a good reason for waiting.
Reasons could be:
- It's only going to be a few more days at most
- Some other features would not be usable without it
- It's a killer feature
- etc

In the meantime, I've added this item to the optional TODO list.
