filter product variations JSON (take 2)

I requested a filter over a year ago: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/filter-product-variations-json/
At that time, I was asked to submit a pull request on GitHub so that the devs could look at it directly, and we could make sure it worked for our needs with EWWW Image Optimizer.
I submitted the pull request, and have received zero feedback from your developers: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/28391
We have at least 40 folks waiting on this integration between Woo and EWWW IO: https://feedback.ewww.io/b/features/p/add-compatibility-with-js-webp-and-woocommerce-product-variation-images

How in the world do we get some traction on this?
