I agree this is the most desirable location. However that would force it under a LGPL license, we don't accept mixed license contributions. Placing it in GeoServer would retain the GPL license, unfortunately it may also make it unusable from other applications in the GeoToools, like uDig, GeoMajas, Atlas Styler, 52n WPS and so on.
