- Not all input fields are currently supported
A few years ago used the "deserialize" part of dom-form-serializer to replace the custom "field set" operation and support more field types:
However I think some/most of its logic is in this file: https://github.com/jefersondaniel/dom-form-serializer/blob/master/lib/InputWriters.js
- Text editors like CodeMirrors are not supported
This is a little complex as it needs to inject a reader into the unsafe context and set the value via CodeMirror’s API instead. I wrote this code before:

Yes, I've taken a similar approach in a private extension that calls the API for Tiny MCE, another popular rich text editor component (via tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent). We'll probably just need to create some definitions of common editor components: 1) how to detect them, 2) how to read the content, 3) how to set the content
I would vote we hold off on supporting these editors though until we get interest for them
