Aaron, I like all the features you proposed, but can we start a MediaWiki.org page to list ideas? Watchlists are one of the core parts of our experience as editors, so lots more Wikipedians than the ones on this list will have good suggestions for you. (Apologies if I'm contradicting any process that's been advocated for GSOC proposals.)
