I have done so in the past, and have been told in the past that the
code was in place, or just needed to be optimized, or was written but
not put into the main repository, etc.

You were telling me that whenever anyone says something like that I
shouldn't believe anything of the sort and should instead check out the
source tree personally (presumably learning PHP if I don't already know
it). So again, what's the point in asking? And since coding is only half
the battle, how does this apply to the question of actually implementing
the feature in the live Wikipedia?
