Before we stray into a misunderstanding: you asked if we wanted to
host it, and I replied, do you want us to host it? If you want us to
host it, we will host it. It is your decision - sorry if this sounds
like splitting hairs, but clear communication and statement of intent
is important.
The comment on whether it merits its own project was not us rejecting
it, but essentially brainstorming on the status and size of the
project. Again, my criticisms are mine, and not any "official"
position.

Indeed.

If it doesn't matter to you, why should we host it? We do not collect
software, we provide hosting.

Mario.
