AFAIU, Dmitry oversees the VC development and maintenance.  That
includes the issues you raised here.

> So I went ahead and implemented it myself. The CVS, GIt and Hg subsystems are tested and work as expected. The code and a short description is available for review at http://sw-amt.ws/README-emacs-vc-ignore-feature.html#vc-ignore-parameter-extension

It's up to Dmitry, really.  If he feels my attempt to understand the
design critique you present is not helping, then I'll gladly leave it
to him to continue with this report.

Thanks.
