THIS x1000.  The first test for getting something into core is that it is
stable and used.  If the original author has gone MIA and nobody has made a
fork, then that's not a strong argument in favor of it being stable and
used.
If you want to champion getting this into core, then you've got some
prerequisite steps:
1/ Get it building on 7 and 8.
2/ Flesh out the tests. (maybe?)  It's got a grand total of FIVE right
now.  Maybe that's enough, but I somehow doubt it.
3/ Prove that it has broad demand.  In principle, it sound like an obvious
boon, but no activity in 11 years isn't a ringing endorsement.
