Don't worry, we'll publish the patches as soon as we have a stable version.

You are right that adding a FULLTEXT index is not difficult - the difficulty
lies in keeping the compatibility with other DBMs.

I had to restructure the indexed search extension in a way that other
extensions can take over and modify the indexing / searching process.

Definitely not. We didn't advertise it outside of here.
