I was trying to add a new archiver implementation a few months ago.
Let's put it that way - substantial changes are good :)

having discussions and incremental code contributions would be better.
(My 2 cents)
As I recall somebody did a study of successful open source project and
discovered a common element was a good seed implementation and only a
few people with a strong, shared vision. Otherwise projects tended to
get mired down in a grey ooze. Fortunately it's easy to figure out what
a good seed would be in this case -- the interfaces and a few sample
(and simple!) archive formats.
