No. ;)

Sorry, but it's not reasonable to make public updates to software
purely to satisfy a single individual's needs, regardless of whether
the update is "optional". If a change is to be made to the software,
there needs to be a reason for doing so which applies to the community
at large.

If you really want to make a change which applies to yourself and
yourself alone, you definitely can, as it's open source:

https://github.com/glyptodon/clipboard-permission-manager

... but upstream is not the place for such changes to live. As for the
specific changes you propose, more on that below.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.

At the moment, both the extension and Guacamole support only
copy/paste of plain text. This doesn't have anything to do with line
wrapping or newlines - those should copy/paste regardless of whether
HTML is supported. If they don't, then that would be a bug.

Keep in mind that adding support for copy/paste of HTML to that
extension will not magically cause Guacamole to support this as well.
The two systems are independent, and similar support would need to be
added to Guacamole. There is an open issue for implementing this
support on the Guacamole side:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-55

Now, compared to the extension (which is browser-specific), the
changes required for Guacamole are complicated by browser quirks
surrounding HTML clipboard behavior. Such quirks ultimately resulted
in the changes for GUACAMOLE-55 being partially reverted for the sake
of a stable release:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-82

As far as Guacamole is concerned, it is the above issue (GUACAMOLE-55)
which needs to be implemented for HTML (or images, or files, etc.) to
be supported within the client-side clipboard. Then and only then
would such support within that extension have any useful effect.

Thanks,
