Many of the developers are probably aware of a popular fork of Inkscape called Ponyscape.
If you don't know of it, here are the extra features it offers: • Inverse clipping (clearly I'm not going to merge this in) • Objects dialog (http://sta.sh/0zb66ec8hyk ) • Tags dialog (selection sets http://sta.sh/01n137vphezw ) • Power stroke point control dialog (activated by shift+clicking width points http://sta.sh/01s1vyyazw8k ) • CubicBezierSmooth Power Strokes (http://sta.sh/0232eheuvzn0 ) • UI enhancements (for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1310688 ) • 5 new path effects ◦ Attach Path (there is a great tutorial on this by R4inbowR4ge here http://youtu.be/5o5P0897vb8 ) ◦ Bounding Box (...clearly you know what this one does, right?) ◦ Ellipse by 5 Points ◦ Fill Between Strokes (obsoleted) ◦ Fill Between Many (http://sta.sh/0mze2vk449o )

My plan is to get (most) of these features merged into trunk to keep them from bit-rotting away. I have created a branch here at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~inkscapebrony/inkscape/inkscape which addresses the majority of these features.
I've also fixed this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1290573 and this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1290573 (AFAIU neither have been fixed in trunk)
This is great, and thanks for undertaking this work!
In about a week I'm going to be opening the Experimental Branch for doing feature work on while we stabilize 0.91 for release. I would encourage you to consider merging this into the Experimental Branch rather than directly into trunk. That way people can easily review and test it, and give feedback, without risking adding bugs to the release branch. That way it won't bit rot, and as individual features from this are ready to go they can be merged on over to trunk.
I'm asking for a little review—and possibly some feedback?—on the new features in the branch.
Also, I am not familiar enough with the Inkscape codebase to know what to do with the very old looking SPTag stuff, which is why it isn't in my branch yet. If anyone wants to take a look and advise me on how to refactor this to make it work, the tag stuff is here: http://sta.sh/01etufm3jqvt (seriously, what the heck is an SPObjectClass? is that some sort of impls thing?)
I'm not even sure that functionality is really needed. Couldn't this be done better using groups or layers?
