Neil, this would be a very welcome initiative. You could argue that most of the survival stuff belongs here too, but a link to the Task View for survival would suffice.
Additional topics: Multistate models (the msm package; the MSsim function in Epi) Demography (demogR package) Once you have made a skelton I suggest you post it to this list (and the epitoolds list) and I am sure there will be a couple of people chipping in.
