I don't know whether it is a good time to think about improving
Arabic-like language support (such as Farsi). If the answer is yes

Yes, definitely. Now is the right time.
First, I would like to contribute to the project working in this
area.
Welcome!
Second, there are a number of languages similar to Arabic such as
Farsi and Kurdish and so on. The similaritly between them is that the
character shaping rules for all of them have the same procedure and
their difference is that each of them has a different set of
characters. It seems better to have a general method to support them
rather than to support each such language individually.
Yes and no:
Yes, we need generic support.
No, we cannot make abstraction of the language setting, if only because
of LateX support.
I suggest that you get used to the source code and do some testing with
1.5.osvn. Don't hesitate to ask question.
