"Surely the thread 'Back and forth to Russia' should be forwarded to all
the genealogy sites we've been evaluating, to show that there is
demand for passenger manifests for ships going eastward across the
Atlantic to be digitised and put online"

You can want them, but ships leaving the US didn't leave passenger lists. England might have arrivals in one or both directions, but you can't demand what doesn't exist - well, you can demand it, but that won't help.
