It was closed by one or two individuals, and there has been significant comment since then. Asking to revisit a decision isn't crazy, and there have been reasonable suggestions made. I don't see a lack of core dev "jumping upon" as an active indication that patches would be rejected; merely that core devs are unlikely to produce such a patch themselves.

http://bugs.python.org/issue13936 has been closed as invalid and I don't see a rush of core devs backing this proposal.
