Historically, the WebKit project hasn't had the warmest relationship with the DAP working group, and we've tended to be conservative about which DAP APIs we merge into trunk. The Sensor API appears to be fairly early in its lifecycle. As far as I can tell, it hasn't even reached FPWD, which means, among other things, that the W3C patent process hasn't started. These factors lead me to think that we should wait a bit before landing the feature in trunk.
You might consider implementing this feature as a WebCore Module <https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Modules>. If you go that route, the implementation should be fairly loosely coupled with the rest of WebCore, which means implementing the feature first on GitHub (a la <https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitHub>) might be a good choice. This approach will give you a chance to experiment with an implementation and receive feedback from the WebKit community without being blocked on merging your feature into trunk.
