Hi Konstantin,
I have added this functionality, but without the global key binding.
Thanks!

Dear all,
Recently new feature was added - when you set an estimated effort for
a task, you can be notified when time is up.
(sound is controlled with org-clock-sound variable)
I found that pretty often from the beginning I can not correctly
estimate what time task will take and I need to give myself an
additional time.
To address this issue I wrote couple of functions that helps me with
that.
What do they do:
When you have clocked item and want to add time (increase effort
estimate), you call function org-clock-increase-effort-estimate, which
will ask you for a time period. It will update update currently
clocked item in a buffer as well as a mode line.
I hope this might be helpful to someone
