This is going to be a surprise: I need to parse syslog messages from
cisco devices, and they look bad using the standard parser (which, again
surprise, is probably the reason someone bothered to write a custom
one).

I'd like to point out that the online documentation does list
'pmciscoios' but not 'pmcisconames':
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/idx_parser.html
Also I'm having a really bad user experience because you didn't enable
modules that don't even need further dependencies just because no user
asked for it yet (and provided a justification for it). Which means it
will take years until I can use it in debian stable.
May I suggest (to both of you) reading:

cheers,
