AFAIK, the author of that module has never posted in the newsgroup looking for 
it to be reviewed. There have been some people have mentioned it, but the 
author hasn't pushed for it. I have no idea what state the module is in or 
whether it's suitable or not for Phobos, but either the author needs to push 
it through the review process, or someone else needs to effectively take it 
over and push it through the review process. Neither has happened. I suspect 
that it's listed in the wiki because someone liked the idea of it getting into 
Phobos and added it. But the author certainly hasn't been pushing for it to be 
reviewed. And without that, it's not going to go anywhere.
