There is one more wet blanket you need to be aware of.

It may be the case that the complexity would rule out acceptance

future maintenance and development more difficult.

While not my first choice I could maintain this as a set of patches against the official release of vim. But obviously I would much prefer it this became part of the official vim! :)
 

My suggestion would be to start by getting a good feel for how
many source files and #ifdef features would be involved.

This is a pretty big task all of it self. But sure, it's a good early step as soon as I have found someone to work together with.
 

Also, think about compatability with existing behaviour. For example,
when multiple windows are displayed in current Vim, each window
has a customisable status line. How would that work with the
"modern GUI" style?

I have answered the question about the status line in another email. Please see one of my replies to Tony
