Could you implement any of your ideas in a small scale and provide a report of benefits. And if possible allow other folks access to this system. I would use the excellent example of Ingo J. who provides the buildd.net service. Even if all of his ideas have not been integrated into debian, it still provides a useful service and is an example of possible improvements that debian could utilize. The benefit Ingo's service provide are apparent only after having seen it in action and not merely from reading his proposal.
