Anybody with a projects.blender.org account can do a project proposal.
Ton will very likely approve this project. It would be a great addition!
There are some good documents on CVS. If you need help, I'll help you
out, or post a question to the bf-committers mailing list.
Also, just as Willian said, you should really post a message to the
bf-committers mailing list. This is something you deserve the credits
for!

Some questions:
You said it runs inside blender. I assume that you call the application
from Blender, and it starts in a seperate window?

Is it possible to build blender without (the link to) the new IDE? We
don't want to force the users to install WxPython when they don't want
to write scripts.

How portable is WxPython? I know it runs on Windows and no Linux.
Blender runs on 4 more platforms (OS-X, Irix, FreeBSD and Solaris).

(You don't have to reply to this mail if you're going to post a similar
message to the bf-committers list. I hope you'll answer the questions in
that message then ;) ).

With regards,
