Submit to a standards body

Hi folks,

Apologies if this isn't the correct place, but I'm wondering if/why you haven't submitted this to a standards body. Seems like a great thing to go through the w3c or IETF process to become a full blown standard, rather than a vendor consortium document. I saw this which discussed related efforts.

Here's a list of the IETF working groups. I'm not familiar with all of them, but there may be a fit.

Is this something for the future, or an action you've considered and then discarded? If the latter, I'd love to know why. If the former, I know a few folks who work on standards who would good to chat with to discuss appropriate steps.

Along the same lines, I'm curious about the relationship (if any) between this effort and the WebSub protocol which was a W3C recommendation from 2018: https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/

Skimming through the spec, there seems to be some similarity/overlap (e.g. use of HMAC for auth). Have you all reviewed that older standard? It would be nice to align where feasible and/or highlight gaps in that existing spec that this effort is aimed at addressing.
