I would like to see the Thunderbird Chat implement OMEMO for XMPP messages. Every modern XMPP messenger has OMEMO, and implementing it in Thunderbird would preclude having to have an additional XMPP desktop app just for messaging.
What is the best way to create a bounty for OMEMO in Thunderbird Chat? I had a bounty on bountysource and they are now gone, with my money. I am betting there are enough people who want this implemented who are willing to chip in to make it happen. That path seems more likely than one of the people who wants this implemented knowing how to code it and having the time, or they would have already done it 9 years ago.
