Issue Summary
First I explain why I like to collaborate with the your FeedAPI module.
At the moment there is no fast distribution of the rss feeds. All the feeds published by drupal pings the crawlers via ping-o-matic (ping.module) or another subscribers (multiping.module).
One of the limitation is that it could take a while when the subscriber pulls you're RSS feed.
Another limitations is that it is difficult to get updates from services quickly without the crawlers overloading your site servers with update checks.
There are different solutions to distribute your rss feeds faster without it polling problem:
* Simple Update Protocol, that was proposed by Paul Buchheit from Friendfeed. (see http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/)
* PubSub Protocol, that was proposed by Brad Fitzpatrick and Brett Slatkin from Google. (see http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/)
* rsscloud(see http://rsscloud.org/)
In the future it will be common to use these publish methods. Wordpress has a plugin that support pubsubhubbub. I do not think we would lose by Wordpress.
There is also much demand by the community:
* http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/PublisherClients
* http://drupal.org/node/551980
So now i like to approach these features via my fastwebfeed.module.
Can you please contact me,
thx,
Jo Bollen

#1
I'm ready to help in any questions related to implementing of these features.
#2
I would suggest that any work should go first into 6.x, not 5.x.
Also: I would strongly consider using FeedAPI's successor Feeds - it includes some lessons we've learned with the FeedAPI and there will soon be a release.

I would like to contribute or collaborate with the feedapi.module.
You can find a Beta version of my fastwebfeed.module at http://cupid-project.be/
#4
I have improved my code for Drupal 6.
You can find the module here (http://cupid-project.be/project/fastwebfeed-module/page/downloads)
My next approach can be the feedapi.module.
#5
The first Release Candidate for Drupal 6 is a fact. (fastwebfeed.module-6.x-1.0-RC1)
It supports pubsubhubbub and sup and it inserts this to the drupal RSS feeds.
