See below.

Mostly, the burden is on the person requesting a feature to submit a
patch, if for no other reason than that everyone is busy and that, as
the requester, you probably have the most interest in getting the
feature implemented.

Once a patch is out there, you're going to need to convince at least
one core dev to get behind your idea, since they are in the position
of getting it into SVN, and they have the best big picture view of
PHP. The core devs do often seem happy to help improve patches, if
they think they're worthwhile.

Then, perhaps it will get into SVN if a core dev likes it and no core
devs oppose it too much.
Then, perhaps it will be scheduled for a release.
