They are not in random places; they are in one place, emacs lisp. Org-mode is
not "scattered around", it is a coherent piece of work.

Put it the other way around, thse feature are implemented already in
emacslisp. Any mode can connect them to buttons and use them already.

There were few features on that list that require work, multiple columns are not
straightforward as it is now. Pdf/rtf importers are just labourous, but specs 
are
freely avialable, anyone could sit and write importer/exporter. I personally
don't think rtf is important and I dislike the pdf for many reasons. I
understand it is popular, but just becasuse something is popular it does not
mean it is good.
