Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 For a lot of people, I know the wait can be frustrating, but I would try
 viewing it in a larger context: we all have things we would love to go in
 immediately, but as responsible committers, we have to weigh the pros and
 cons of tossing code onto 20% of internet. I have tickets that have been
 open for 7 releases, but for each I either:

 1) don't think the idea is fully-baked
 2) don't have absolute confidence that the feature/code is necessary
 3) haven't made a good enough case for it
 4) haven't provided bulletproof evidence that it's going to make WP better
 (unit tests, use cases, fully-baked code)

 If there's a ticket bound to a component and it's still open, someone has
 more-than-likely looked at it and decided it's not ready, but not dead. If
 someone has closed a ticket, it's usually for a good reason, and it's
 never personal.

 For these big architectural changes, I would find a way to do iterative
 development on existing code or come to the table with a fully-functional
 proof-of-concept, unit tests, and use cases.

 Make/Core is not a community blog. The best way to be granted access is to
 become active in dev chats and plead your case for a feature, while
 accepting that the community night not fall in line behind it. Many who
 are granted access are also extremely active in core, regardless of the
 current status of their tickets. Many of the feature-plugin authors are
 also willing to donate their time to work on a feature that may never see
 the light of day.
