A quick observation here, and feel free to flame this mercilessly [1].
As I see it, the purpose of the review of application should be to
determine whether the applicant will comply with the d.o requirements
regarding licensing, etc -- it should *not* be to judge the merits of
the proposed module.
In this case, and in others I have seen, people have been unnecessarily
hassled during the CVS application process.
As a community, we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we hassle/turn
away developers, especially when we are turning them away for invalid
reasons.
If Andrew hadn't posted to the Dev list, his good idea would not have
had the opportunity to make it into the community. I wonder how many
other good ideas have been lost for the exact same reason.
Cheers,
Bill
[1]. Yes, I know that there are a small number of people triaging a
large number of CVS applications.

You could always build it out as a contrib module, though. It sounds pretty

Thanks. Unfortunately, when I tried that the CVS masters said that my proposed
module was "too simple" to justify granting me an account
(http://drupal.org/node/606962).
This has been rectified.

Thank you.
