These should be no issue afaik. Usually library upgrades such as this 
don't cause many problems. Have you done a full test run with the new 
library versions to ensure no breakages to any test cases?

Yup, adding a new community module just requires a +1 from a PSC member. 
I don't think you will have any problems with that, this is a much 
anticipated addition to geoserver. Consider this a +1.

You will need to join the geoserver project on codehaus. Instructions here:

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/1+Getting+Commit+Status

Once you apply to join, let us know and one of the despots will grant 
you access. Another doc that might of use to you is the community module 
process:

Can't wait!!
