One item that stands out (to me) from the feature list is:

    * Trash management

    per xfreedesktop standard
    restore trashed files to their original locations
    empty the trash, along with its administrative overhead
    view trash summary information

Perhaps something like this would be useful to add directly to dired.el
and/or files.el?  I'm not sure what is currently missing (and I don't
use a trash folder myself), so I cannot say.
