I haven't looked at your library, but one thing you need to do to get 
buy-in for this library is provide a comparison with the pimpl_ptr 
library that was proposed and rejected.

My perception of the primary reason the library failed is that, despite 
being a basically sound library, it didn't work in the ways people 
wanted it to.

It would be useful if you could summarize the vital details of your 
library, along with a comparison to the previous proposal, and other 
similar libraries, in your announcement message.
