Well, someone could step up to keep tabs on the Inbox. Doesn't even have to be a core dev. You're starting to make a good job at that ;)

Also, others could let the core developers know that the new package works for them, and is considered useful.

E.g. Levente's ping above was easy to follow up, it included a reference to the original message which lists the diff. Whereas your ping today did not state if it works for you.

One reason why Levente's package was not quickly commented on might have been because he mixed a feature addition with cleanup. Monticello tempts us to do that because each version is so heavy-weight, but separating issues cleanly might help.
