The GeoServer commercial support <https://geoserver.org/support/> page
offers a list of companies that can take on this kind of task.

As others, I'd urge you to come out with a specific list of features that
are missing. In GeoSolutions we did an analysis in the past and come up
with a variety of issues

   - Bits that could be exported to SLD, but are not (e.g., attribute
   dependent values and expressions)
   - Bits that are exported, but using invalid SLD syntax
   - Bits that cannot be exported, because there is no equivalent SLD syntax

The list is large, making an estimate is not very likely. Rather than "I
want to export everything possible",
approach the commercial support providers with a firm list of features you
need instead.
