Could you elaborate on that a bit? Without knowing any implementation
details, I think that all related work would be (implicitly or
explicitly) included in the funded task and as such done by the
developer.
Indeed, that was what I meant to caution about. An initial estimation
of the work involved would, at the current moment, lead to a much
higher 'cost', where in the end the auto-table-layout implementation
itself would represent only a minimal part of the whole effort.
That said, it could definitely work. As you see, the interest is
already rising.
