I have already approached a few people ... we'll see where it goes.

I don't think we need to worry too much about the organization.  If
such a project comes to exist, we could easily call it a project in
development for LSB 2.0 or something like that, make it on add-on
standard, etc.  What matters most is that people code against the
standard.

Therefore, I'm totally convinced that this needs to be done by the
people writing the code, not us.  The sub-committee would might be
formed would need to come from their (KDE, GNOME, etc.) ranks, not
ours.  I'll try to see what I/we can do to help.
