I recommend to pass such ideas (preferrably backed by code, obviously) 
to the [group] that develops interoperability standards for federated 
social networks!

Last month was a coordination [meeting] in Berlin ([videos] available 
for some parts), and a few days ago a [follow-up mail] seems to touch 
this very issue (point #3).

I believe discussing implementation details with the folks actually 
implementing is much more productive than doing it here ;-)
