I haven't seen anyone else show any interest in xauth in the two months since
you said that, so I guess you're it. Enjoy!
If you don't already have a freedesktop.org account, you'll need one:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests
And you'll probably want to read up on the X.Org Development practices:
http://www.x.org/wiki/DeveloperStart
(though not everything in that page is fully up to date)
And for details on the Xauth mechanisms, see:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXau/tree/README
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/man/man3/Xau.3.xhtml
(For instance, note that first one describes FamilyWild as being originally
intended solely for XDMCP communication, not for storing in .Xauthority files.)
