Thanks for reporting this, but it's not actionable for us. Tasks should be focused on one specific thing each. This includes many proposals that spans across many repositories and many teams, so there is nobody who can own this task. Could you please report each suggestion as a a separate task?

This is a parent task for (currently uncreated) sub-tasks.

Will create sub-tasks once the plan is done.

This "parent task" does not seem to serve a purpose on its own; the subtasks don't seem to require a parent task.
I'll assign this to you if for some reason you would like to have this task. :)
