Personally, I'd like a plugin that could import the toc length from the pdf (although 0, 1, many would be enough info for me). But this would require either replacing pdfinfo or pulling in a larger python pdf manipulation library I think.
There is a FAQ on helping develop. Kovid's standard reply is: 'Patches welcome"
You need to do the heavy lifting, then submit the patch for review. Remember; Calibre runs on 3 OS
