If it's about the conversion of GD's DB-backed searches from tile-based to R-tree, just submit a patch. It's trivial enough and would not affect WMF because we're using Solr (and will switch to Elasticsearch shortly). The present kludge is caused by an obsolete MySQL version we used to have at some point.
