Would it help to write a short proposal to move this forward?
Yes, proposals help us know what to implement, when we have time.
The proposal can be short, but it needs to describe the feature in enough detail, that a developer could implement it: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/001-process.txt#n39
Would there be someone to actually implement it?
If there's a good proposal, some volunteer or staff member may decide to implement it, when they have time.
We can also include proposals in grant applications. (It's much harder to include an idea in a grant application, we don't have enough details.)
Perhaps it might fit into some of our existing anti-censorship grants. But that's something for the anti-censorship team to decide. Again, a proposal makes that decision much easier.
According to nickm: "This wouldn't be too hard, actually." [1]
As more platforms (i.e. youtube) are more strictly blocking IPs with bad reputation this would be a crucial feature to make the internet more accessible to Tor users.
Yes, I agree.
Unfortunately, there are lots of really useful and important things we can do. And never enough people to do them.
But a proposal is a good step forward.
