Not sure what a vbucket is, but good to see namespaces on the list :)
Any idea of who could work on this, and how long you would expect it to
take?  Sounds like you got the perl client rewritten in a freelance kind

Maybe we could start with proposals for client functionality, from the
standpoint of say the perl client, then later consider the backend
implications, and then the implications for the other clients.
