We're definitely collecting ideas for new Chat features (and i'll pass those on!), but development for new fun things are on hold until some other things are worked out (like Chat stability issues, and a few other features).

I'm not personally familiar with the Monster Hunter Wiki report, but if it's been filed three times, i suspect it's on their radar. :)
