I think that this is a very interesting project and looked at it several times. Unfortunately, I don't have the cycles to take on Mentoring at this time, just showing general support for you to move on, i.e. get a Champion and together pen the formal proposal, which most people here would use to gauge the feasibility. Risk of not being accepted after putting in a lot of work is there, but knowing this project I think a well formulated proposal will make it a no-brainer....
