As for the mechanics of getting this on trunk, you need to create a
patch of the code
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Creating+a+Patch), and create
a JIRA issue that you attach the code to
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Reporting+Bugs has
information in JIRA). Schedule it against 1.4, and we should get it
applied pretty quickly, as it should be a nice and straightforward
patch.
And do note that GeoServer is completely open development, so after a
few good patches you'll likely be offered commit rights and can easily
grow in to a leadership role in the project. We look forward to
working with you, it sounds like you're doing some cool stuff with
GeoServer.
best regards,
Chris

Indeed, welcome aboard. We are always excited when people are

Getting this functionality into the core should be straight forward,
the
MapProducer stuff is already factored out and follows the standard
geotools plugin system.
As Jody states were are in the middle of refactoring the code base
into
multiple modules. It currently lives on the 1.4.x branch of our
repository. In the next few days we are planning on branching trunk
into
1.3.x and making 1.4.x the new trunk. I would love to see this stuff
be
its own module.
If you are interesed, I have started some developer docs here.
