Patrick, This sounds as though it would be the C# equivalent of Java's ReflectData, which has been part of the Avro API for several years now, so it’s likely there would be interest. Your best bet is to open a Jira describing the planned feature and open a pull request on Github to start the discussion. The contributing page on the wiki is a bit out of date and still recommends submitting patches on Jira but I believe that Github is now the official repository.
