Whether I fully understand your goal or not makes no difference. When you're ready for folks to test it I'll be happy to give a try. Even if you decide that your idea wasn't the cat's pajamas you may end up writing code that can be merged into the current codebase with new features or speed enhancements. Quality contributors are always welcome and you have to cut your teeth on the code somehow.

Calibre already has this capability in the Copy to library feature. There is no "worry that you will import it wrong" since it is a direct copy of the record from one library to another.
Good Luck with your fork.
