Hi Jason,
Thank you for the post.
I have forwarded your request to support this lens profile to the dedicated thread - https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360012937417-Lens-profiles-support-please-submit-all-the-requests-suggestions-regarding-lens-profiles-here-?page=11#community_comment_360003937458
Meanwhile, feel free to check this article on how to work with unlisted lens profiles.

Jason,
You are right, it has been around a long time and it has some rather specific "features" that can be rather pleasing but not so much in terms of what regular lens correction is intended for.
I bought one many years ago as a heavily used item. For some very specific purposes I quite like it.
I suspect that most people who bought them never used them. There are (or were) too many immaculate examples available on eBay.
Mine needed repair for erratic working and a stiff zoom mechanism. I used an approved repairer and waited a month for it to be done. I tested it before leaving the premises and it was clearly not working correctly. Focus calibration was wrong.
It turned out that they have not repaired it themselves but had sent it to Canon. Apparently "something else" broke 3 shots after I fitted it to a body to test. So they sent it back to Canon. 3 weeks later it was returned. Focus at maximum zoom was slightly erratic still. It eventually got to the point where any zoom over around 250mm could not be relied upon to any degree of sharpness. The focus is also incredibly slow by modern day standards. It makes a good paper weight. I quite like it as a portrait lens at around 80mm but I very very rarely shoot any portraits.
I would be extremely surprised if C1 would consider going to the trouble of finding a usable copy of this interesting but flawed lens and then take the time to try to create a consistent profile for it. I suspect the examples of the lens may not be consistent anyway.
You and I may be the only 2 owners of the lens that sometimes use it AND also use C1.
All of that said, I do like the DO concept and sometimes, just sometimes, the combination of lens and subject matter can produce a really nice or interesting result given the right subject matter and the right light. When that happens the profile, good, bad or indifferent, really does not matter at all.
In my opinion.
