I've thought of this myself and it's not something I think the Extensions UI would make very easy. The XML has so many options, that the UI would look rather cluttered if you provided them all.
One thing that might be interesting is to provide some Model Glue patterns.. like New Form. This would make a Form Display Event and a Form Post Handler Event. Another thing would be to make views from a template... but really I've not discovered enough commonality in these processes to really get much traction with an Extension. I like the idea a lot in concept... having a rich wizard to help build out an application, but in practice, I sort of fall short of tactical, practical ideas.
