Neutron metering was originally created as a way to get input for 
billing tenants for usage, giving admins numbers for what stayed inside 
or exited a datacenter.  It has languished over the past few cycles 
either because it is working perfectly, or not used very much - my guess 
is the latter.

That said, if you want to propose an enhancement, there is an RFE 
process defined in 
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/contributor/policies/blueprints.html 
you can use, the neutron drivers team has weekly meetings to discuss 
things for inclusion into releases.
