That's a pretty awesome list of privacy features.  It doesn't look likely that
we'll have a summer of code student working on privacy this year, so if you
have free time then don't be bashful about throwing together UI mockups or
something for a new privacy dialog :-)

(Sorry, I can't comment on the status of your summer of code proposal.)
