It would be good if we could use the direct message functionality of the API to send and retrieve direct messages.

So twitter.lib.php would support the methods at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api#direct-messages

This would be a significant change, but patches are welcome to support this feature!

I'm confused as to why you would close a feature request issue when even you yourself have said patches are welcome.

It should be active until someone writes a patch. Unless you have no intention of ever adding the feature, in which case it should be marked as won't fix.
