None from me at least - a fully functional patch is always welcome. I can reassign that patch to whoever wants to contribute this. There are definitely parts of Hive which will break when a vertex:vertex adjacency list is not enough to figure out edge type/properties (i.e input schema assumptions), but that is a problem for the Hive community to solve if it decides to start using parallel edges in query plans.
