It is a feature that should be part of the Internet base protocol
stack. It is bad enough having to work out which RFCs matter and which
should be ignored. Knowing that you have to search out to various
other organizations to find secret sauce to make it work is a recipe
for chaos.
Its bad enough having kludges like the robots.txt file in HTTP.

So we need to extend the UPNP protocol so that when the local NAT box
receives a request to open up an external port, it relays the request

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead, read http://upnp.org, find the
relevant WG, propose the extension, talk to implementers, you know the
routine as well as I do.
