With my chair hat on:
I've created the bug (23194), 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23194

But when I review the discussion so far, I have seen a lot of skepticism 
and "how would this work", and nobody actually speaking out in support 
of the idea.

It is possible that this is something that should be left for a later 
version of the spec.

(I'll also note that if I've understood how Futures/Promises are 
supposed to work, this is much more easily supported, with no special 
API whatsoever, in a version of getUserMedia that uses futures instead 
of callbacks. That may argue for leaving it for the proposed future spec 
version that supports futures.)
