There's no active SSH WG, but there is the curdle WG. Its
charter [1] however is limited in terms of what it's
allowed to add to protocols. OTOH, this is not defining any
new groups, just updating codepoints, including deprecating
one (to NOT RECOMMENDED). So the draft could fit there on
that basis I guess. So I'd say send a mail to the curdle
list and suggest this be adopted there.

If that doesn't work I can look at AD sponsoring it, but
since one of the reasons to setup curdle was to avoid too
many of these being AD sponsored, please try there first.

Cheers,
S.
