I would kill for a server distro which came very very well optimized after install and you can run it in a bread toaster.

Alpine Linux?
Currently I'm using Armbian for my SBC servers, working pretty well but I wasn't aware of Alpine Linux, I will check it later maybe it could work for my objective..
Small things like my bluetooth mouse working 100% of the time or not having to unhook/reattach my Surface Go 1 from my external screen for it to be fast again.
Although some of these things might only be linked to my hardware as it’s not happening with the same disto on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro.
You could also help preparing XFCE for eventual Wayland compatibility: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap .
Making the GUIs not follow the axiom of one tool for each job. I shouldn't have to use the terminal if I want to zip a file with a password. It should just be an option in the GUI that uses both commands on its own
The whole point of a GUI is to make the system more approachable not to just replicate the terminal but with buttons
Doesn't 7zip do that?

An alternative to elogind would be good.
Joke, that's probably a bit much.
Fractional scaling. Granted i'm a diehard GNOME fan and I hear KDE is better.
accessibility is denifinely something needing more work...
Honestly WiFi support, it isn't as bad as it was before but still some really popular cards like RTL8821CE aren't properly supported (i know there is a dkms driver but it isn't properly maintained and doesn't work for the latest kernel versions).
Accessibility. I should be able to give my grandma Ubuntu and she should never have any trouble.
Also fuck Nvidia
support in desktop environments for managing dual backlights when provided by the kernel. I was working on this for a bit but got too busy
- HDR video
- Desktop WhatsApp client
- As others have mentioned, whatever KDE devs need a hand on
