Hi,
improvements are often welcomed, but it's hard to tell unless you explain a
bit how they are meant to be implemented,
the "talk first" policy implies that one discusses the plan before
implementation, or be ready to amend/start over in case the
discussion brings the desired implementation in a different direction.

Changes that are typically not  welcomed are those breaking backwards
compatibility (but there are often ways to handle that, like deprecation
cycles and the like)
or cause functional or performance regressions in existing use case.

All seem interesting. I would suggest you start making either PRs for one
of them at a time, or describing the code changes required,
again, one at a time.
Also, be patient, our ability to follow up on mail is limited by work,
family and other activities, it would not be strange if the turnaround
for mails or PRs takes several hours if not days.

Cheers
Andrea
