[icon] Request re-purpose/ownership change

http://drupal.org/project/icon

• It is currently unsupported.
• Hasn't seen a commit in 4 years.
• Last issue in the queue is over 3 years old (which is why I'm creating an issue here instead of that queue, as I probably wouldn't get a response).

I would like to re-purpose this module's namespace to create an Icon API.

Argument:
I recently created a new module http://drupal.org/project/fontello which allows the importation of font icons into a site. I also started seriously diving into http://drupal.org/project/bootstrap and came across this issue: #1940604: Add Icon API support for glyphicons.

This got me thinking. I would like to provide something like hook_icon_info() so modules and themes can provide a centralized way of adding icons to things like blocks, menu items and a WYSIWYG.

Right now, I created the fontello_block sub-module, however this should probably be re-named to something like icon_block, if I can get this namespace.

In theory, the http://drupal.org/project/bootstrap base theme could provide the list of the available glyph icons it comes packaged with. Then, if they wanted to, they could replace those with something better like http://drupal.org/project/fontello. Either way, utilizing this namespace for an Icon API would allow for a much more seamless approach for integrated site icons.
