Suggestion for HG One mod to aid distribution (from a non-engineer)

I could have posted this to a couple different ongoing discussions, but I wasn't sure which so I'm starting a new thread (Admins, do your thing).
All the discussion about WDT and different users' HG One routines got me thinking. Though I don't use the funnel wiper (RDT is easy enough), I thought it might be possible for someone to design a re-distribution device that fixes to the HG One the same way the funnel wiper does (i.e., onto the lower axle cap with a washer). Couldn't someone come up with a cheap mod to agitate and redistribute grounds as they fall from the burrs and before exiting the funnel? I am neither artist nor engineer, but I picture something like a fan blade, ship's screw, or some kind of spiraling cone like a post hole auger.
Others have noted that WDT and/or other redistribution techniques are not that burdensome. I agree, but still think many of us wouldn't mind eliminating a step if possible.
Thoughts?

I came across someone who had basically plugged the hole on the funnel so that the grinds come out from a smaller hole to aid redistrubution here:
And a video of it in action can be found here:
Logically it should work decently well, and is a pretty cheap and reversible mod.
