She refers to the source code font-locking, not the final document
output.  Come on, this is the mailing list of AUCTeX (and the linked
question was fairly clear), it wasn't too difficult to guess ;-)

Anyway, AUCTeX holds the list of known bibliography items in
`LaTeX-bibitem-list', but I'm not expert enough of font-locking to
implement this feature without some hints.
