AFAIK the request has already been registered, i.e. it's in my TODO. 🙂
But it's fairly crowded in there, so if you're in a hurry you might be able to
speed it up by providing a patch for `elpa-admin.el`.
You can get that code with:
git clone --single-branch https://git.sv.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git
make
after which it's in the `admin` subdir. Or you can fetch it more
directly with:
git clone --single-branch --branch elpa-admin
https://git.sv.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git
Don't forget the `--single-branch` because there are many unrelated
branches in there.
