What I’d consider the most pressing issue, pertaining both to
Context and to TeX as a whole, would be text streams a.k.a.
parallel typesetting. It was discussed on the list a couple times
already and at one point someone collected examples [1]. Also, I
sketched the current state of parallel texts elsewhere [2].
Maybe .. i have some ideas on that but might as well do columnsets first
(not related to critical editions).
so please send examples to the list
that show limitations or bugs, ask for new features, etc. if you want
new features in the bibliography department, please do not send vague
requests
I have a working albeit hackish (manual page-breaking ftw)
implementation for the plain format which I wasn’t able to port
to Context due to the much more complex page model of the latter.
Example output:

To minimize the vagueness ;-) I could share the sources but I
doubt it’s of much value in its present state. Besides, it does
not work with current Luatex due to changed callback signatures.
Being a trial-and-error-and-experiment-a-lot guy I'll start from scratch
anyway. Something for dark winter nights and a stack of fresh cd's.
("it would be nice if we could have hungarian reference
systems") but small examples which show a precise feature and a possible
syntax for it.
of course, i can't promise that we will be able to act on all your
submissions, but i'm optimistic that this project will make our favorite
software better!
Looking forward to status reports! Will the improvements be
directly merged into Context or do you prefer releasing it as a
self-contained module?
It will be merged into the core but I can imagine a module with tei
mapping snippets.
