Thank you very much for your submission to Ansible. It means a lot to us that you've taken time to contribute.

Unfortunately, this issue has been open for some time while waiting for a contributor to take it up but there does not seem to have been anyone that did so. So we are going to close this issue to clear up the queues and make it easier for contributors to browse possible implementation targets.

However, we're absolutely always up for discussion. Because this project is very active, we're unlikely to see comments made on closed tickets and we lock them after some time. If you or anyone else has any further questions, please let us know by using any of the communication methods listed in the page below:

• https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/communication.html

In the future, sometimes starting a discussion on the development list prior to proposing or implementing a feature can make getting things included a little easier, but it's not always necessary.

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