codecs get rolled into svn when someone posts a patch which passes review
the reason why noone posted it is likely that it doesnt work as you noticed

so if you are interrested in seeing it integrated then first step is to get
it working (posting patches here to fix and improve the aac code would be the
obvious option ...)

after it works someone (you for example ...) could then post a patch which
adds aac to ffmpeg svn, which would then need to go through reviewal and
probably a bunch of revisions with fixes depending on the replies you get
from review before it could be applied

and yes native aac support is very much wanted, due to all the license 
issues with faad/faac and of course it means one external dependancy less
