Hi Arnaud, I am really looking forward to seeing such feature implemented in QGIS, thanks for bringing up the discussion.
I would also recommend going for a QEP, as it is a largely foreseen feature, and I suppose everyone has its own definition and use-case... From my point of view, we should go for a very generic field-mapping mechanism which could be used in many places such as copy-paste. A way of reading/saving configuration would be quite useful, like presets.
