I'm late to make suggestions for features, but here following a small
list of (hopefully) issue fixing PRs

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1071

this fix area calculations when OTFR in on (regardless of a layer is
reprojected or not). This is really hurting right now in qgis 2.



https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1037

this should fix the value map widget, also broken in qgis 2



https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/772

this PR claims to solve memory leaks in symbology, but is unclear to
me if it is a finished job or not.
