So write a draft and get buy-in from the implementers.  Better yet, get them to write the update.

FYI:  As far as I can tell, OSPF is using manual key management for case we are 
talking about
1. we actively discourage anyone from doing manually keying... since around
    20 years ago.   OSPF w/manually keyed IPsec would instantly fail a SecDIR
    review if published today.

2. so... manually keyed AH for OSPF ==> essentially nobody is going to do this.
    You have to rekey it every ~2^31 packets (or sooner).
    (Maybe some military with grunts to do the rekeying from a console. We
    heard about this kind of thing for MACsec, but at least, they were
    providing authentication material for an AKE)
