As of now (days before first dev release), there are three main 'avenues' of development for this module.
1) Extending coverage to registered users. (There are sites that allow everyone to register but not comment immediately. I know this for sure – I'm running one of these sites :)
This could be integrated with checking against permissions environment.
2) Adding blacklist (see #1216166: Is there a reason this isn't a whitelist + blacklist?
3) Adding support for different handles (name/e-mail/IP, name/IP etc.) and switching of handles.
nonum) (internal) As this module relies heavily on 'INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' logic, which drupal_write_record() does not support and probably won't support before D9, we could make use of our own dr_whitelist_writeentry($entry) to reduce repetition and to improve readability.
