Well, I've been communicating with Fernando Lozano about his LDAP
users module, which actually does about 90% of what's needed,
so I'm hoping to just help with what he's done, but make a more
general framework.  (One of the things I wanted was the ability to
remotely create home directories...) I haven't done nearly enough
LDAP or Webmin programming to say that I can certainly pull this off,
but I'm hopeful.

What sort of things are you looking for for your virtual hosting?
I've thought for a long time that it would be very cool if someone
would write a mod_config_ldap, where Apache would pull configuration
from an LDAP server.  I don't think it would be terribly hard to map
the Apache configuration directives into LDAP objects & attributes,
but it'd be a hell of a lot of work considering how many there are.
