I think it could be a good idea, TDF could have the role to gather the 
propose of enhancement and to inform the developers tha there is this 
possibility.
hazarding a guess if an hypotethic Mr Steve Jobs of an hypotetic company 
named apple would like a feature such as when you click on print a blue 
screen appears, and offer 254$, TDF could inform the developers, and an 
hypothetic developer such as Mr Bill Gates of an hypothetic company 
microsoft could answer ok, and develope a such interesting feature, if 
it isn't already patented :-)
