If it's an open source client then you're not limited to "a" developer, nor indeed do you need to wait for other developers at all - if the client doesn't have a feature you want, and nobody else is willing to add it, you can go ahead and do it yourself.

There are a number of useful protocols out there, and a few clients that allow you to add your own - but you'll need something more if you want to offer a customised interface. That's where scripts and plugins come in. Several clients support these already, but they can end up becoming quite large projects in their own right, so you'll need to decide how best to use your time.
