@Anomie has a work in progress patch at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/195297/ which defines interfaces and is starting to flesh out additional details of the implementation.
@csteipp has produced a state diagram of the proposed workflow that is now included in the RfC.

FYI the RfC was never marked approved on the wiki page nor in TechCom-RFC. on the RfC text, see T89459#2289662 .
