I haven't looked at this issue specifically, but the best way to get a change reviewed for acceptance is open a Trac ticket (bug or feature request), with the category as UI:
<a href="http://dev.jquery.com/newticket">
http://dev.jquery.com/newticket</a>Anyone can do so, including attaching a patch file[1]. Honestly, before seeing your email, I didn't know google groups even had a files feature. It doesn't seem like a good fit here as the Trac solution allows for assignment, review, categorization, status, release targeting, tracking, discussion, reports, etc. Thanks.

[1] A patch (or diff) file is always preferable to a whole file as it reduces the amount of work required for a reviewer/developer to inspect the changes and apply them for testing the proposed change(s).
