If you left it to me, I may say that, among the possible next step you listed, the best one is to do nothing, as I do not want to see the stash info in the "status --short" output ;-) It probably is the safest to make it available first only in v2 format. I do not know if that makes its utility too limited for the purpose of the application you have in mind.
