I think it would be great if you want to work on the items you mentioned!

Also since v4.6.x and master are pretty much the same (apart from the
version number in configure.ac and in the pot-file), it should be easy
to advance those two together. The gtk branch should also be relatively
easy to move along with changes in master, since most changes there only
apply to frontend code. We normally merge master into those two branches
every now and then to keep them in sync... and there were no major
problems in keeping them in sync.
