I always figured that the raster work would be done in imageio-ext, or
geotools as appropriate.
And any user interface work should be done as geoserver community module.

The raster Format API does provide connection parameters, which you can use
to advertise your configuration options. You may need to work hard to make
a user-interface dynamically from the connection parameters - but it would
be a fun bit of RnD that would benefit all of geoserver.
