I can't see how this was shot down. Darren just doesn't seem to have done anything about it. Reply to the PR, and ask if he still intends to do anything about it, and if he doesn't, then we can assign it to someone else. While it would be nice if developers regularly chased up things assigned to other developers and left for a while, it's best for the originator or stakeholders to actually _say_ something about it _in the PR_ and to the relevant lists if things go by too long.
