I've got one or two orders of magnitude more good ideas than I have time
to implement, but I will say this one would have a pretty big impact -
I'm considering it.

Of course, I would accept bribes. :) But in all seriousness I also
accepted funds from John Dillon to implement replace-by-fee, although
he's been good in understanding that the scope of the project was quite
a bit bigger than originally thought. (it turned out replace-by-fee can
enable very safe zero-conf transactions, but only with mempool and
relaying changes) I'd suggest looking at my git commit track record
before you offer anything FWIW; I've been much more of an academic than
a programmer.
