So the protocol in question can be said to not be GTP but a Cisco dialect of
GTP.

We prefer not to add more plugins to Wireshark, plugins are more appropriate
when you don't plan to make the code generally available such as a private
dissector used only within a company. Even then I think you are better off
distributing your own customised Wireshark binary rather then only the
plugin(s).
This dissector can be added as a built in even if it duplicates GTP code
that's just a bad design decision if not absolutely necessary as any updates or
improvements to the GTP code will not be automatically propagated.
