I think Geoff has already provided a reason for not doing it...

There are plenty of other tasks that deserve attention though.

As pd linked to, I don't think it's necessary, but I suppose a patch to add hotsteat mode might be acceptable, but it will be a significant complicated task to add it. You'll need to add new states to the finite state machines of the server and client that properly transition with the existing states for multi-client play. If you attempt to add hotseat play with just a few hacks that don't do a "proper" job of it, it won't be acceptable.
