I'd be interested in working on a DIP like this Michael, but I
also want to expand the scope to allowing UDAs on function

mind; let's take this to private email.
I'm on IRC almost daily under the alias JinShil.
Feel free to take this DIP and run with it. I don't know if I
would be much help anyway as I personally don't have a use case
for this feature; it just seems like an implementation
oversight to me. That's why I asked for others to submit use
cases.
That being said, having just finished a recent MVC ASP.Net Core
project, I realize Seb's web-routes would be an outstanding use
case; I don't know why it didn't occur to me. Just further
evidence I may not be the right person to advocate for this
feature.
ORM also occurred to me as a potential use case.

For those people not following dlang/DIPs yet, Mark stepped up
and submitted a DIP for it:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/105
And there's also a PR for UDAs on function parameters:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7576
So everyone who wants to see this become reality in 2018 -> help
to improve the DIP or PR ;-)
