With the introduction of collections, we are not really accepting or developing new modules for ansible-base. This might be an appropriate request for the community.general collection.

You can find more information about collections at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections.html.

Thank you once again for this and your interest in Ansible!
