Hi Oier,
people don't even always send us the details using the required
email submission format, so I doubt they'd bother with iCal files.
Still, having a form on some website which outputs the request
as email using the email submission format (for review) and
with an ICS attachment would be helpful.
Adding events would then be a matter of drag&drop into
Thunderbird/Lightning.
Thanks,
