Thanks Arthur! OpenCollective is still new to me, so posting anonymously was a mistake.
I am trying to gather community interest as well as convince Anki developers that Anki should include a new algorithm with the app. As you said, AnkiDroid follows desktop Anki, so my goal is to persuade the lead developers on the various projects that this is a good idea and support the changes to desktop Anki, which should subsequently trickle down to the other versions.
I looked at your blog post. The addon you have there suffers from the same problem as the new algorithm: for mobile, the rescheduling needs to be done first on desktop and synced to other devices.
David also pointed me to the new 2021 scheduler, which might be a good way to do accomplish my objective. You can see his reply here.
