(Will comment on the particular feature list when I find time
this weekend)

I think it's great that you want to work on this stuff.

Committing stuff to CVS is really the easiest part for me; the harder
part is finding time for reviewing patches and new API.

So, I really don't care if you are using CVS or not.  What, I would
like to see is:

 - Detailed API proposals in advance
 - Changes split up as much as possible
