As I understand it, Peter is using the term "heroquest" in the restrictive, post-2d-edition sense of "Quest to the Hero Plane". The 7Moms did their work on the GodPlane[*], so he isn't considering that as a HeroQuest.

FWIW, in *my* post where I suggested wacky projects (like making the Crimson Bat into a subcult of Chalana Arroy), I was using "heroquest" in the broader, pre-2d-edition sense of "activity in an OtherWorld".

[*] Or elsewhere. Yes, I know there were sorcerors and animists among the Seven. But that discussion would really *really* be digest-fodder.
