Write a recipe and submit :) I don't think there was ever a "conscious decision" to not support a specific package for non-technical reasons. And this one doesn't also look like it has any noteworthy implications - its autotoolized and GPLv2. So a good one to get involved for sure. The only thing that *could* theoretically happen, is that if no usecase other than a very specific one of yours can be seen, that you are asked to keep it in a layer of your own instead of being accepted into meta-openembedded (because thats where it would have to go).
