Welcome, Karol! This has been discussed before (see for example [1] - search the archives for more) and you can see an outstanding item on the math wishlist [2]. The answer is that no one has stepped up to contribute this. As you can see, [math] is mostly analysis and statistics now, with very little algebra (really just the linear algebra required for the analysis applications) and no number theory. If you are interested in working on primality testing, you are most welcome to start. See [3] for some general information about how to get started contributing.
