The wiki doesn't really have "devs".
It
had a
single dev (Ravhin), who gave us stuff like magelos and the auction tracker, and he was even kind enough to "come out of retirement" to patch the auction tracker for Green/Teal ... but like I said he basically retired. Meanwhile, I'm sort of a dev, but I only work on the "front-end": I can change what you see on a page, but can't access the database directly.
That's the bad news. The good news is that if you (or anyone else who can code and either knows PHP, or is willing to learn the basics of it) really does feel that it would "not be particularly hard technically to do" ... you can step up!
All of Ravhin's source code (including all the auction tracker code) is freely available at:
http://wiki.project1999.com/utils/wikiUtils.php. Just download the zip file, make the necessary changes to filter out the top/bottom 10% (or whatever), and send them to Ravhin. While he's retired, I'm guessing he'd at least be willing to review/apply such changs. If not, send it to me and I will (I can at least tolerate
reviewing PHP code), and then I can beg Lord Rogean to apply them since I don't have that power.
But yeah, ultimately like anything on the wiki, it's not about what someone else ("the devs") can do for you ... it's what you're willing to do for the wiki
