In order to become part of Unicode, somebody needs to write and
submit a proposal. That's essentially the first step towards getting
needed characters into the Standard.
You mentioned Manipuri, for example.
Meitei Mayek script (Manipuri) proposal:
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3158.pdf
Research notes toward a Unicode encoding of Meitei
by Dr. Richard S. Cook:
http://unicode.org/~rscook/Meitei/
(this link not working for me this morning, but it was working fine
a few days ago)
Information about scripts and characters under consideration
as well as instructions for submitting new proposals can be found
