A new currency type would be nice, and if kept small in scope, might be manageable. Bringing Christoph Berg's PostgreSQL-units into core and extending it could be interesting. Peter E's URL and email types might be good candidates. What else? Informix Datablades had a media type way back in the day... That's still a gap in community Postgres.

 Did you have any particular data/index types in mind?

Personally I'd love something that worked like a python dictionary, but I'm not sure how that'd work without essentially supporting a variant data type. I've got code for a variant type[1], and I don't think there's any holes in it, but the casting semantics are rather ugly. IIRC that problem appeared to be solvable if there was a hook in the current casting code right before Postgres threw in the towel and said a cast was impossible.
