Bump on this one. More of a feature request than bug, but I do agree.

We had mentioned about having a contrib folder. I think this would be a good
place for this type of data that would be potentially useful for different
parties.

How about this structure, and then maybe the devs can fix the code around it
at some point?

/contrib/geodata/iso2code/geojson/

where the iso2code would be for a particular country.
