You should post to -hackers. If you're willing to fund development by
yourself then it shouldn't be hard to get this done. I know for a
fact that Command Prompt will develop features for hire, so they'd
probably be willing to undertake this. But fully sponsoring this
might not be cheap...
If you're not willing to fund this entirely on your own then things
get a lot more complicated.
