This is unfortunate, RFC lasts for 7 months until now. With several
announcements and questions:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-May/045152.html
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-November/049373.html

I regret to only have examples for France and Spain, but I didn't find any
relevant picture for that on Commons and call anyone who want to add his
contribution from the very start of the RFC.
Since no comment raised, I took it as no concerns instead of lack of
consensus.

No problem with that, the rational and proposal chapter of the document has
been updated.
Basically, it's really simple : the first box in the street your home is
connected on. If you don't find it, don't map it.
There are places where lines go out of homes from the roof and reach the
box on a pole in the street.

Discussion is open since May but no one objected on this feature.
Then the time has come to vote and look for consensus, now.

All the best
