Upgrade Token contract to include a rescueERC20 function

[BlurayDisc]

Hi wormhole dev team,

Purpose

Include a rescueERC20 function in the token's contract in order to rescue existing customer stuck funds and take wormhole's customer oriented attitude to the next level!

Background

This opportunity comes from a customer issue of my own...
I've been in contact with your customer support team for about 5 month, for some fund that i accident sent to this contract: Token UST (Wormhole).

I was acknowledged the team has been stretched quite thin at the moment so i don't have any expectations for a time frame for when this will be implemented, which is totally fine.

Implementation

From what i understand the wormhole contracts are openzepplin proxy based / upgradable contract, which would make this possible.

What i think the steps are:

1. Implement a rescueERC20 function that is similar to what's in the Token USD Coin (PoS) contract:

USDC Rescuable interface:

2. Upgrade the current UST contract on wormhole and assign rescuer to a internal team's address.
3. Perform the rescue function call.

Expected Result

• Implement Rescuable.
• I don't have an expectation or date for step 2 or 3, as the fund has already been miss placed / stuck for 5 month and i totally wouldn't mind to wait a bit longer...
• I would really appreciate however for any early actions the team has taken.
• For early actions taken i'm willing to forfit a part of the fund being stuck and use it as a bounty for the developer's time and assitance.

At last, thanks and looking forward to the developer's response!

Thanks for your report. We understand the unfortunate situation you and your customer are in. However, the proposal would violate the decentralized nature of Wormhole and is something we cannot accomodate.
