Sprinkling in the website URI into the source code of the PRs was definitely a bold move. I get the logic behind why it was done but one website does not constitute as a standard. If DO_NOT_TRACK were to be standardised then adding a URI to the published standard would have been more obviously intended as a constructive comment. But when the URI is a hobbyist's personal website, as well intended as it was probably meant to be, I can completely sympathise with why maintainers were sceptical about the sincerity of the PRs.
That all said, there has to be a path for unknowns to contribute good ideas back FOSS and I do think this is actually a pretty good idea that deserves to gain attention.
well, good luck getting buy-in from the cli tool devs, then? the other option requires absolutely zero buy-in from homebrew, gatsby, dotnet, or any other cli.
