I've had similar frustrations with PrototypeJS. I've tried contributing, but them choosing to include the patches is solely based on their mood as far as I can tell. I've even went so far to completely rewrite the AJAX portion (without drastic changes and shifting to better event handling+aborts)... There are a lot of frustrations in doing that and it pretty much being moot on the politics of the community.
