+1  Almost a tautology, but even so a crucial insight.

It's really off-topic.  Python-ideas is for proposals to change Python
(the language) or cpython (or other implementations) that aren't
concrete enough or are too bike-sheddable to belong on python-dev.  If
he were to write such a tool in Python and ask for advice, Oleg would
show up and tell him to ask on python-list. :-)

If he had a specific proposal to adopt an existing workflow tool that
could be just plugged in, that would be on-topic (for lack of an open-
subscription python-cabal list).[1]

Footnotes: 
[1]  open-cabal is an oxymoron, of course.  And TINC.  Of course. ;-)
