I am not sure we have developers posting here regularly. I've seen
Harald Welte, but not often. I just looked and see that Jozsef
Kadlecsik, who does post here, is on the Core Team.
Maybe a new chain could be used to do some PREROUTING actions (like
marking) before the routing decision is made for output traffic.
Is there any reason you can't use mangle/PREROUTING or nat/PREROUTING
for what you need? What would filter/PREROUTING provide that those do
not? In fact, although I don't do anything with mangle, I thought
marking was in mangle territory.

Perhaps you should try to make your case on the developers' list.
