If you do intend to go this route, there has already been at least one
attempt.

You should try to dig up the old code base to build off of.  Also, pop
into #mythtv at irc.freenode.net.  There has been discussion about
rewriting the internal structure dealing with files, recordings, and
metadata.  It stalled a couple months back in order to get 0.22 out the
door.  If this does happen, it would be a good opportunity to lay some
ground work for a multi-user mythtv.
