What do you mean by "others are merged"?

Same as for any migration; investigate what Flash is used for and if
HTML5 can do the same thing. If it can, file a bug report asking for
addition of HTML5 support and wait for that to be done, send a patch
to speed it up. If HTML5 can't do what Flash is used for, lobby the
browser vendors to implement a replacement and go back to your
upstream.

It looks very very simple to support multi-file uploads now, it seems
to be a single HTML <input> tag attribute:

I would guess that there are JavaScript based fallbacks too.

I wouldn't blame you for the state of web development, for that I
blame upstreams :)
