FWIW, Blink has started implementation of request():

The specification of request() for one permission should be straightforward so I think you shouldn't be blocked on that (this is already working in Chromium behind a flag). However, multiple permission request is slightly more complicated.

Birunthan, do you know if anyone is looking at that?

I don't think anyone is working on this.

See https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/83 for the discussion that led to dropping this. It seems this might still be pursued as https://github.com/jyasskin/permissions-request, but given all the reasons Mozillians had against this API it's unclear whether that'll gain cross-browser agreement (and if it does can be tracked in a new bug).
