Accessibility kernel enhancements are more important that Nobody to my knowledge is working seriously at making it useful, in the mean time the hardware vendors have been making it useless because serial ports are vanishing. I've talked to Intel and others about the need for a BIOS level accessibility console service but that fell (pardon the choice of phrase) on deaf ears all around. A second problem is that many people consider the user space solutions already superior including blind kernel hackers so there is much less leverage. Discussions about speakup v emacspeak and friends usually end up as flamewars about political issues with accessibility.
