I am pleased to announce that bug 7957 is now fixed. In fact, I did not know of that bug before you sent your message to the mailing list :-)
Tim recently gave me svn access, so I hope that in the future I will be able to provide more software enhancements for wikisource.
Considering Protect Section, it was never enabled because some people at the foundation considered that it gives too much power to admins. However, I believe that using ProofreadPage makes it unnecessary. I wrote ProtectSection in order to protect texts against clever vandals (or ignorant goodwilling contributors) who make corrections that look ok but are not. However, the best way to tell apart corrections from vandalism is to have access to the scanned text.

Those are the main ones I am watching for. Also Stable Versions but that should be a priority outside of Wikisource. If Stable Version never happens, we might want revive Protect Section as substitute.
