So, out of naivity: how does the process work concerning the incorporation of enhancement patches?
Enhancement patches may or may not get integrated, depending on time, interest, code cleanliness, bugginess, etc.
I continued my work on read-access controlled pages (see http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-March/028105.html for my first approach). The second version abandoned the idea of hiding individual pages and deals with namespaces instead.
Read access restrictions are a really, really low priority. I personally have no interest in seeing such a feature in MediaWiki, though others might take a crack at your patch.
