What is the process to add Ronan’s proposal of finally adding a timestamp to the logs?

Proposal for adding blockTimestamp to logs object returned by eth_getLogs and related requests

Motivation Currently, most contract events that act on the notion of time do not add timestamp information as it is already available on the block where the event occurs. This saves them the extra gas cost of adding timestamps to the events. Unfortunately eth_getLogs do not provide the timestamp as part of the log objects returned. And so indexers that fetches these events using eth_getLogs, need to make one extra request for each different block to get the timestamps at which these events hap…

I have seen Ronan approach Peter already in Bogota in 2022 about this and Peter said that this was possible to be added. Now it’s 2025 and we still don’t have this.

Seriously what is the problem with adding this finally? My crawler looks like total spaghetti code and I have to do an extra call PER LOG to download a block header just to get the stupid timestamp of a log. There are a ton of other app devs that profit from this change. I’m starting to pay more to Alchemy than I pay for Claude 3.7 because of this. Can devs PLS do smth?
