I can find a chart of Siddam script on evertype site,
but it's for the discussion and it doesn't have the
coverpages to submit ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 officially.
About the roadmap from evertype to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2,
please ask it to Michael Everson. I'm not sure if he
could collect the people to discuss with.

Please check Script Encoding Initiative's page:
http://www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/alpha-script-list.html
It has a note about Brahmi-derivative scripts that
unified Brahmi encoding. I'm afraid that the requirement
of coded Siddam script can be different from that of
other historical Brahmi-derivative scripts (e.g. Chalukya/
BoxHeaded, Khotanese, Satavahana, Turkestani), because
there are some archives by non-native Siddham users
in Chinese and Japanese.
According to SEI's liaison report to UTC on 2007,
http://www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/UTCReports/07243-ucb-liaison.pdf
Stefan Baums and Andrew Glass are revising their
preliminary proposal of Brahmi encoding.
