We can implement random meteors like actual but not accurate. Prediction for meteor shower is hard and modelling real meteor showers is very hard.

Even if they approximated the time of real meteor showers, that would be a bonus.

Basically, all you have to do is incorporate this list into Stellarium. It would at list show when the showers were about to occur.
