> However, I don't know much about regex The problem really is: nobody does (except for Matthew Barnett probably). This means that this contribution might be stuck "forever": somebody would have to review the module, identify issues, approve it, and take the blame if something breaks. That takes considerable time and has a considerable risk, for little expected glory - so nobody has volunteered to mentor/manage integration of that code.
I believe most core contributors (who have run into this code) consider it worthwhile, but are just too scared to take action. Among us, some are more "regex gurus" than others; you know who you are. I guess the PSF would pay for the review, if that is what it would take.
