I agree fully on this.

I don't know if that is necessary, but a 'search' on memory leaks or
NULL-pointer use would be good. (I think there are tools that can do
that.)

What do you think that should be done for the localization? I wouldn't
know anything to do for that, but then again I only use the english
interface.

That would be nice for some people, but as I understand it it would be a
lot of work.

I think that the current hooks are already used for this. But since I
don't know the code, I'm not really sure about that.

This is a very low priority as I see it, since I'm really used to the
current interface and it would make things only more difficult to make.
