Actually, that's probably the best thing you could do. Because then it shows that you've got the commitment to do this sort of thing and maintain it. The project isn't short of people having good ideas, it's short of people willing to do the actual work. If you do this, and show that the idea is viable, it will be much easier to come back in a few months time to get these patches integrated in to the various RELENG_* branches, and to bring you in as a committer. I'm sure we can make sure that any site you set up to do this is linked to from the FreeBSD web site.
