I also think that this is an important point especially for companies:
An increasing number of users, also increases the probability to
discover bugs. This was also the main reason which made us decide to
release our extensions (memory protection).
And a very useful thing that is too!
However, the lack of response from the maintainers (the original mail
was sent ~ 2 months ago) is an indication that either, (a) nobody seems
to be interested, or (b) the maintainers are simply too busy to
respond.
If (a),
It isn't (a). We're always interested. That's not to say we'll accept your
patch ;), but you know what I mean. Memory protection is an important
feature although a generic design can be tricky.
