Kasumi algorithm implementation

At the moment, there's a place holder file for the Kasumi algorithm found
at:
wireshark/epan/crypt/Kasumi.h
And I found this dev thread form 2012 where the issue of Mitsubishi's
patent on the algorithm (not the code) and the copyright issue with the
Kasumi implementation found in ETSI's specifications were raised:
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201208/msg00080.html

Looks like the bottom line by Joerg Mayer was - If there is an
implementation other than ETSI's we could add this one to Wireshark but
leave default setting of not using it unless Wireshark is compiled
with HAVE_UMTS_KASUMI
defined (as seen in Kasumi.h).

Can anyone back this?
If this is the case I have just stumbled upon this cpp implemenation on
github:
https://github.com/randombit/botan/blob/5eca80aa3336dc49c721e9c6404f531f2e290537/src/lib/block/kasumi/kasumi.cpp
which is both different from the implementation in the specifications and
released under the 'Simplified BSD License'.
If it was re-written in c, could we add that implementation to Wireshark?
