Comment (by aristath):

 > the fact of the matter is, six years later, we still can't get basic
 template files out of the root of our themes

 +1.

 Well, technically we can... but we have to use hacky methods and just
 ignore the "WordPress way" (simply because there isn't one).

 > I will gladly put some hours in if we can come to the consensus that
 this is something we want.

 I can afford a couple of hours too... Though I don't think that coding it
 is the issue here.
 We've got the people and we've got the skills. The actual code & docs
 won't take more than half an hour to write (ok, maybe an hour if we
 include writing unit tests etc). What we lack is communication and a core
 commiter to step in and say "Yes, let's do this".
