The first test for getting something into core is that it is stable and used. If the original author has gone MIA and nobody has made a fork, then that's not a strong argument in favor of it being stable and used. If you want to champion getting this into core, then you've got some prerequisite steps: 1/ Get it building on 7 and 8. 2/ Flesh out the tests. (maybe?) It's got a grand total of FIVE right now. Maybe that's enough, but I somehow doubt it. 3/ Prove that it has broad demand. In principle, it sound like an obvious boon, but no activity in 11 years isn't a ringing endorsement. -Sara
