Some things I'd like to see:

- ability to set the clock before anything happens (it is confusing to
  have a running system that thinks RPMs were installed in 1984 or the
  filesystems were created in 2017); a bonus would allow for setting via
  NTP if the network is up

- ability to set additional LVM options (like stripe config; right now I
  use a real hack to do this)

I haven't learned python yet (perl is where its at! :-) with C when
necessary), so I haven't yet tried to dive into anaconda.  I can more or
less read the code and follow it, but I don't think I can safely write
it yet (how about a perl anaconda? :-) ).  I'd be willing to give
learning python a shot if you think you'd be interested in those things.

I've avoided learning yet another language for fear that if I learn too
much it'll push out something useful (like how to drink!). :-)

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
