Its now bug/rfe 7053536. It should be on bugs.sun.com in a couple of days.
Yes, we'd take a look at a patch. I understand that if its more than
"simple"
(I hope we'll know what that means when we see it) then you'd need to
submit the Oracle Contributor Agreement first for us to accept it.

Hi,
I just reported a bug about IIOMetadataNode attributes is always
initialized to an ArrayList. This is very problematic if the metadata
has many (>100k) nodes as empty ArrayLists start eating up all the JVM
memory.
The bug report gave me no feedback about bug-id or possibility to
attach patches, so I wanted to ask if anyone is interested in a
proposed patch.
The patch only inits attributes when needed, and takes care of dealing
with attributes when it is null. As attributes are private it is quite
easy to review and fix.
It would be very welcome for everyone that uses GIS-software like
GeoServer, GeoTools, uDig and others as these can handle huge
raster-sets, but ATM chokes on metadata.
Here is a real world example from geoserver-users mailing list:
