Comment:

 I am going to close this out as a `maybelater`.

 A [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EHQHW2EYWY95N2XKJAZ2B0QW search of the
 plugin directory] returned 133 matches for `jquery-serialize-object`. The
 majority of the plugins have a very low number of active installs. A large
 number of the plugins matched are either false positives or the plugins
 including the library suggested in the ticket description themselves.

 I'm also changing this to a low priority as jQuery development is not
 currently a priority. If someone comes across this ticket, would like to
 see this land in Core, and is willing to dedicate the time, please do
 reopen. Ideally:
 - some tests would be written to confirm that the change would be 100%
 seamless and backwards compatible.
 - The package would be installed using NPM for easier updating in the
 future (though the project is largely untouched in several years)
 - Testing would be done to ensure no adverse affects if a plugin is also
 rolling their own version of the library.
