Debian (and possibly other downstream projects) liberally change
defaults and add packages to their default version of emacs, so your
idea might meet a more enthusiastic reception somewhere in some
downstream project that caters more specifically to the user-base to
which your proposal is aimed.

In the case of Debian, that project may have already started moving in
the *opposite* direction; they culled many small debian-specific tweaks,
and removed packages from their 'vanilla' default version of emacs. On
the other hand, they've increased and somewhat standardized native
package-manager support for many third-party packages that most users
get MELPA or other third-parties.

Communicating with people at the following links might help advance your
proposal:
