I don't know who decides what can be added to the master branch at github.

I use the crowned rook in Spartan Chess and Elven Chess, and I would certainly keep using the old one. The difference with an ordinary rook is much more obvious. Furthermore, it fits better with the other pieces I use, where the head of Staunton king is an obvious clue the piece has K moves. (See the 'New piece show case" in the CVP Jocly install.)

I suppose there must be variants that aren't mine that also use it, as why else would it already have been there?

The Musketeer version of Jocly is proprietry; who cares whether it differs from the official one?
