Reindl, thank you for the tip. I have one reading tip for you in exchange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_labour . Apparently, one man cannot do everything. But if you want to pick up my duties in Fedora, I'll be more than happy to solve this issue. Thank you.
There are, broadly speaking, two sources of labour for Fedora: people who are paid to work on it, and people who choose voluntarily to work on it for their own reasons.
If you want something done in Fedora and are not willing to do it yourself, you need to convince one of the two labour sources to do it.
This thread represents, essentially, an attempt to persuade someone from either group to choose to work on your idea. So far you seem to have been unsuccessful in that. This is not anyone's fault but yours; people could choose to work on your project if they wanted to, no agency is acting against this happening. You have a free shot at convincing them to do it. So far, no-one seems to be.
Your other option would be to convince one of the bodies that pays people to work on Fedora to pay someone to work on this (and, of course, that person and body would have to convince the Fedora engineering leadership that this was a good idea, in the end, but they could at least work on a proposal without any kind of approval). You are also entirely free to do that. I don't know if you have.
In any case, if you don't consider yourself a sufficient source of the necessary labour to implement your idea, it is up to you to provide the extra labour. There are viable routes to doing this within the Fedora project, as outlined above. Nothing is preventing you from trying them. You just don't appear to be succeeding. It happens. But it doesn't indicate that something is thwarting you or that some process is broken; it just indicates that people are not (yet?) sufficiently persuaded of the merits of your idea to work on it.
