So in a certain other thread, there was brought up a tactic of using Wish to mitigate the casting time of spells that have longer casting times than wish.
Is this possible by RAW?

By RAW? Techinally yes. Wish doesn't have limits. Just a list of "safe wishes".
You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment, at the GM's discretion.)
Modifying another spells casting time is not one of the safe effects listed for Wish. So it is entirely up to the GM.
Though you could argue that the ability to duplicate a spell would include versions of that spell modified by metamagic feats. In this case, anything a relevant metamagic feat could do, wish could do.
Edit: Unless you mean using the Wishes ability to duplicate spells to duplicate lower-level spells without metamagic. Then yes, it is totally fine to use Wish in that way.
I meant more along the lines of: "If you use wish to duplicate another spell, do you use the casting time of wish or the spell being duplicated?"

I figured that out after I posted my last post. Yeah, that is totally fine. You use the casting time of the Wish spell.
Where would one find that list of safe wishes you spoke of?

In the Wish spell (and Limited Wish spell) itself. The bulleted list which contains things like duplicating spells, bringing back the dead, and undoing misfortune.
