Hi
I know that LMDB currently does not support compaction, but I'm interested in knowing if such a feature is being worked on. And if not, is it a feature that can be merged into LMDB if implemented?

No.

No. But feel free to fork the code and add it to your fork.

Why is compaction an unwanted feature ?

It is misguided. It is a feature to save space, but a continually used DB will consume free space anyway.
If the DB is not going to be in continual use, then LMDB already provides offline compaction, so nothing more is needed.
