We're at a disadvantage getting the Clan Permission Rewrite supported through RuneLabs because it doesn't have the "cool factor" of things like new dragons. And it's unlikely the average player will ever care much about a rewrite when they have so many other choices from which to choose.
Factor in how disorganized the RuneLabs system was in January with good ideas buried by all the bad ones, and it was highly unlikely we'd get the support votes needed to be in the final group that was presented to the players anyway.
The rewrite was in design since sometime in 4th Quarter 2013. Starting over at square one in the RuneLabs process as if it is a new idea doesn't make sense.
At this point, it's just a matter of waiting to see if we'll get the mute option tool sometime this year. I'm not holding my breath for anything clan-related. Clans just don't seem to be a priority with Jagex.
