To avoid your suggestion being buried in the depth of mail archives, you 
might file a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.

This way supporters of your proposal can confirm and vote for the 
feature request, while developers will have the opportunity to define 
the amount of necessary (man)power and time to work on this task.

As you know, most of the developers are volunteers or paid by companies 
with possibly different interests.

So it might be possible, that your idea is not shared by someone (or 
some company) interested in spending time and money to make it become 
true. That's one of the advantages (at least in my opinion) of a 
volunteer based open source project: People interested in a feature 
becoming true (same goes for bug fixing and any other part of the 
community) know that it depends on them to
- convince others and create a team
- find developers or do the work on their own
- provide the patch (or similar work) to be integrated in the main 
resources.

For strategical decisions like expanding to mobiles I'd think about 
posting the question to steering-discuss@tdf.org - but only when you got 
answer from the developers:

Only with their feedback it will be possible to determine the necessary 
effort...

Best regards

Bernhard
