I've objected to the architecture of the patch for a long time, but  
not the functionality.
The functionality is a requirement in many PBX installations.

I still think we will have to implement SIP call pickup and most of  
the needed mechanics
actually exist in 1.4 with the new SIP transfer code. I got funding to  
start a rewrite of this last
summer, but lost that customer when I got problems with my back and  
had to stay offline
a lot of time.

I still have a lot of that code somewhere in the svn repository, in  
one of my branches.

The idea was to be able to pickup any channel in Asterisk - so even if  
you subscribed to
an IAX or ZAP phone, you should be able to pick up the call by  
pressing the lamp. And this
was done without a channel walk for every NOTIFY. The only channel  
walk was done when
we actually got the pickup from the phone.

I don't remember how much work is left, but I got pretty far. Would be  
fun if someone is
interested in sponsoring this work to completion. If so, mail me off  
list.
