FYI, pcb-rnd already implements two points on your list for pcb:

8. Footprint generator?

pcb-rnd introduced a new sytnax to clearly distinguish between static 
footprints and generated footprints; generated footprints are 
external scripts/programs written in whatever language and called dirctly 
by pcb-rnd and gsch2pcb-rnd.

(Mainline PCB also has/had a footprint generator, m4 based).

16. Pin swapping!

There is a GUI feature on top of the generic back annotation feature to 
swap pins. Pcb-rnd remembers your pin swappings (they remain remembered 
until a new forward annotation performs them). It is possible to back 
annotate the swaps to gschem-ba.
