Great idea.
While plotting this scheme and looking at the existing content on the
Wiki, I was reminded of http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WishList and
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryWishList. Some of the stuff here
is quite old and already tackled by Emacs, while some is now under
development thanks to the concurrency branch etc. But sometime in the
next day or two I'll add a page somewhere in there soliciting sponsors
and developers for this crowdfunding scheme.
