I am interested in writing IMAP UID code, and below my thoughts:
- we have to deal with uidvalidity
- we have to deal with folders (each imap folder have its own
uidvalidity/uid list)
- uid.c code has a lot of quirks to manage lot of strange thigs with
pop-uids (spaces and @-sings in names and uids - yes?)
- imap uids are far simpler (they are integers, even sorted IIRC)
- so (despite I hate to duplicate code) it is worth consider having imap
uids next to pop3 uids, not modify uid.c?

It is my 3¢, what do you think?
