I still think such a extension is of general interest and this should be 
  already noticable from the extension name.

Yes. If there's a list of clearly defined tasks and I find some tasks 
that I'm able to implement, then I will help.

The current TODO.txt offers a bit too less information to me. If this 
entries would be described a bit more detailed I would have a better 
starting point.

Well, that's how it looked like when this movement and renaming has 
taken place.

As you might know I'm a developer of the seminars extension where we 
already handle party related data with some limitations. I'm interested 
in getting the basic model of tx_party into a release so it is 
officially usable in this case through an interface with seminars.

So as stated above if there are tasks that shorten the time to release 
and I'm able to implement them, then I will help.

Greets,
