You could claim that the lack of coloring is a bug, but nobody
complained about it so far (and I personally hate coloring in
prompts as they are distracting noise, and would reject a patch if
it weren't made conditional), so I would think this is more about
"adding a feature the users can choose to use but they do not have
to".

We do not usually add new features to maintenance tracks, so the
result of applying the patch does not have to be merge-able to maint
or amything older.  I would base the patch on v1.7.12 (the latest
stable release) if I were you.

That is something you should ask on list, like you did here, but the
most effective way to do so is do so when you send a patch you
worked on and tested with bash.  Say "I've tested it only with bash;
can you please take a look?" and Cc the folks you find in the output
of "git log contrib/completion/" who worked on making it workable
with zsh.
