Since nobody answered you (publicly at least), I will try doing it myself: I think the best thing to do if you want a feature to be added is to come with a patch and request for comments on it. Then, people will discuss it and decide whether it's worth adding it to git. So yes, you can try implementing it - all work is welcome :)
