I think this kind of proposal would be better discussed in that WG, since an API will be defined for idle user notification already. I think the Idle API [1,2] you’re referring to, and the proposed Standby API (functionally close to e.g. Mozilla’s requestWakeLock() [3]) are addressing different needs. The former is used to monitor when the user is idle, while the latter is used to request the UA to keep a particular resource, such as the screen, available. That said, I see there is potential for confusion here, given similar names.
