There are a number of issues with proposing an application. It's could be the case that applications like this will never be part of the BGL core release since they tend to be very application-specific and somebody would have to commit time and effort to maintaining them (which is actually a huge problem).
If the work includes the extension of the library (e.g., new algorithms to the BGL), then there's inherent value for that library. You would probably have to find some kind of "sweet spot" in the proposal. How much are you contributing back to the library or Boost in general, vs. just using the libraries.

Of course, I've not just used BGL but also developed new generic algorithms to use with my software. I have to work a little bit again on those algorithms before propose them, however code just works fine.
