Hi,

As documented in [https://github.com/ansible/proposals/blob/master/proposals\_process\_proposal.md](https://github.com/ansible/proposals/blob/master/proposals_process_proposal.md) I would like to let you know that I have described a proposal like in this email subject here: [https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/133](https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/133)

Please let me know (in the issue) if you think that this idea makes sense to you. If so, then I will try to make a PR for it.

Thanks,  
Greg Dubicki
