So unless someone wishes to actively support such a script within the main branch (and prove it by first actively maintaining it outside of the main branch, with regular bug fixes, feature request handling, and port to GEGL if needed), we can't just take new scripts inside the main tree. The second issue is that there are a lot of awesome plugins out there, but which ones definitely deserves to be in as default we-have-to-support-it features, and which one are more to be considered "optional" for some specific use cases (so out of the main tree)? That's a difficult question. I'm not sure if ID photo handling is definitely something to be considered as a default feature (though it's true most people does id photos regularly in their life, stubborn administration pushes us to not do it ourselves by refusing them).
