Your mockup looks very complicated.

There are probably better ways to handle this situation than asking the
user.  (Such as checking if more than just the name is identical, creation
date, time last modified, size and more).

if the nautilus developers like your idea a lot they might code it
themselves, but I expect they have other features they want to work on
first.

If you dont have time to code then all you can do is file an enhancement
request in bugzilla, ask very politely and wait patiently until a
developer is willing to work on it.
