Hi Yuri, thank you for your submission. I see that your proposal was posted to the mailing list in 2023. Since then, we deployed BIP3 as a new BIP Process, so there are a few formatting changes that would be needed to the preamble. I would also suggest that you add a link to the prior discussion to the Discussion header.
At first glance, your document appears to be missing a Specification, a Rationale, and a Backwards Compability section. Please refer to BIP3 for more information.

As we are now following BIP3 for the BIP Process, the Preamble is formatted slightly differently:
