Who do I contact to get approval for a new assembly?? I'd be willing to put
it in an existing assembly if someone would point out where (preferably
someone from that core team).

Anyway I implemented the patch in a way that will let it will gracefully go

I considered iterating through the attributes myself... but I decided
against that because it looked a but tedious.
