I agree that it is a feature which would fit well in Xapian, but nobody has
yet implemented it.  I don't know of anybody currently working on it (and
since nobody else has responded to your post, I guess nobody is).

There's a ticket in trac as well as the FAQ entry.  The FAQ entry had some
rough edges (e.g. the sample thread it linked to wasn't about snippets at all)
so I've overhauled it, and linked to the ticket as part of that:
