It very well might be possible, and I apologize if I did.
"patches welcome" it's what I meant with "not rule out the 
implementation [...] if someone provides it"

There was no criticism, hidden or otherwise, in my words. My belief is 
that here, like in Debian which is based on volunteers, 
authors/contributors can work on whatever features they see fit, either 
because they deem them more useful or simply because they take more 
joy/satisfaction from doing it.

Indeed it is in general. In this particular case, if one, like me, 
doesn't have the skills to help, that would be an empty promise.

A good day to all,
