I think it worth looking into all implementations of IOReadeableWritable. However, I would not consider that as a concern of this FLIP.
An important convention of the open-source community is volunteer work. If Wencong only wants to work on the `Path` case, I think he should not be asked to investigate all other cases. I believe it's not Matthias's intention to put more workload on Wencong. It's just sometimes such requests are not easy to say no.
