One of the issues I see with this is that it would require the imageio and jai libraries to be added somewhere that would then be visible to this even though in most cases nobody would use jsp for this etc. Also I don't think this would be that easy for someone who doesn't know a reasonable amount about jai and imageio.
Our experience with adding image manipulation capabilities to our product has been that JAI is possible to use, but in practise requires too much memory and / or is too slow for real usage. You be better off writing a wrapper around the "convert" utility of ImageMagick.
It would be handy to have an open source utility library that would be easy to "plug into" sling, with different backends for image manipulation implemented either with JAI or wrappers as described.
