Some Additional Context: The Commonware Library (https://github.com/commonwarexyz/monorepo), unlike other stacks/frameworks, doesn't have a single consensus engine or a required consensus interface that you'd need to fit HotStuff in.
Like we did with Simplex/Threshold Simplex/Ordered Broadcast, you speedrun an implementation of HotStuff with runtime::tokio, p2p::authenticated, journal::variable, and cryptography::{bls12381, sha256}).
We've recommended that all devs working on new primitives implement them externally (importing primitives from the Commonware Library). If someone builds something awesome and they don't want to maintain it, we'll merge it into the monorepo.
TL;DR we'd love to see an implementation of HotStuff 2 (for teams that want to trade some latency for lower bandwidth usage). Hope that helps!
