Well, my advice in that regard would be to start learning how C 
libraries work and try to implement a proof of concept, as I did 
when I discovered Gambas had no regular expression support 
(resulting in the gb.pcre component) and with MDI (they didn't 
use my work per se, but Gambas now has an MDI environment) and 
so forth.  

As with Linux itself, many of the ideas in Gambas came from 
people outside the core development team, but usually the ones 
that have succeeded have been accompanied by code.
