Last I checked it was your team that told me WPT on android was not an
immediate priority. The WPT harness itself does not run there.
FWIW the story with wpt/Android is that originally Android didn't
support the kind of remote control required to run wpt tests (i.e.
marionette). That has subsequently been fixed, and it's believed to be
possible incorporate Android into the wpt harness without a significant
refactoring, but after that there is substantial, time consuming, work
required to get from "it runs" to "this is a thing we can run in
production".
I doubt that the work required to implement an Android backend, sort out
issues with the relative slowness of the android emulator, and green up
the tests, would be less than one person's work for a quarter. Even once
this is done there would likely be ongoing problems updating the
metadata on android for syncs from upstream simply from the additional
slowness of try runs and probable additional intermittency.
So far there haven't been enough people working on wpt to make this a
priority relative to other goals. Given the situation with e10s, it
seems reasonable to reassess this when planning future work, but I
wouldn't bet on such work being complete by Dec. 29th this year.
