Broadhurst–Mellit conjecture relating a 7-Bessel moment to a zeta function

Let IKM(2,5;1)\operatorname{\mathbf{IKM}}(2,5;1) denote the indicated 7-Bessel moment, and let ζ7,1(s)\zeta_{7,1}(s) be the Euler product

ζ7,1(s)=p1Z7(p,ps).\zeta_{7,1}(s)=\prod_p\frac{1}{Z_7(p,p^{-s})}.

Broadhurst–Mellit conjecture. One has

IKM(2,5;1)=5π224ζ7,1(2).\operatorname{\mathbf{IKM}}(2,5;1)=\frac{5\pi^2}{24}\zeta_{7,1}(2).

The relation is a numerical connection discovered by David Broadhurst working with Anton Mellit. The supplied text says that it still awaits a proof.
