My contributions for audio recording uploads are not ready because
they depend on the upload redesign and client-side Flash. I am still
waiting to hear from anyone why the current state of Flash is any less
closed than that of Java. I am willing to give the benefit of the
doubt that people have simply not researched the situation with
Adobe's current public documentation and license along with the state
of Haxe and Gnash, but in the mean time I can wait for the upload
redesign before I take up that issue in earnest. I'm also trying to
raise money for Gnash developers to make that particular hurdle a
complete non-issue.
I would love to see Flash/Gnash support on Commons, but as far
as I
know, it isn't currently in the development pipeline (and as you said,
their is still lingering cultural resistance to anything Flash-related,
despite the emergence of projects like GPLFlash and Gnash). If you want
to use Flash for uploads in the meantime, you can set-up an uploading
front-end on the toolserver. I have a Flash-based uploading front-end
for Commons on there myself that I use for doing multi-file uploads.

What remains to be done on those projects? The only unassigned bug of
any immediately apparent consequence on any of those keywords I was
able to find is bug 24682 which looks like it might have a patch
already described in it.
I didn't think you were a committer.

Perhaps there are Mediawiki users other than the Foundation who would
not be opposed to the use of Flash for microphone audio upload?
