Contributions to LaTeX-core

Hello TUG,

I watched Frank Mittelbach - Quo Vadis LaTeX(3) (/watch?v=zNci4lcb8Vo), 
where he says, that several document hooks shall be included in LaTeX-core.

I made a very simple package, which I wanted to upload to CTAN, but it 
makes more sense, to include it is a standard. It is just this:

     \ProvidesPackage{realpage}
     \RequirePackage{everyshi}

     \newcounter{realpage}
     \setcounter{realpage}{1}

     \EveryShipout{\stepcounter{realpage}}

page is reset on pagenumbering change, this is not. It's basically the 
physical paper count.

Is there any way to contribute this? Like a git repo?

Best regards,

Gabriel Ruprecht
