That has been done, a team exists. It is being done, teams are being
formed. And, yes, one must not work alone. All these things take time.
People have to want to devote a lot of time to a project to make a

of my spare time for several week just learning enough about the SDL
source code to start making changes. 

If you want to help, let me know.
