I think the DAP WG in the W3C is the right place to address APIs for 
sensor data.
They're one of the parent WGs of the Media Capture Task Force, which is 
charged with getting the specs right for getusermedia, so one would 
assume they're aware of the discussions there.

But in my opinion, neither the WEBRTC WG nor the RTCWEB WG have this in 
their charters.

I advocate separation of concerns; if people want to work on this, go there.
