At this point I don't think we have a plan to implement chrome.serial.
However, we are finishing up the implementation of native messaging (
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging) and it should be
relatively straightforward to build a serial-port bridge on top of native
messaging.

We'd also accept a webextensions implementation of chrome.serial if you
want to contribute it! I will happily introduce you to the webextensions
engineering team who can help with mentoring and reviews.
