Calibre has a great development environment. If you really want it for yourself, some of the changes you suggest can be made easily. If you think others want them, send the code to Kovid. If he agrees, they'll get added. If not, he may allow them into the tweaks options, along with lastname, firstname tweaks.

If you understand software interface design, you'll recognize Kovid's concerns about user confusion and option creep.
