Absolutely agree with you about fixing those show-stoppers first.. the
problem is none of those issues (e.g., vias, existing geometry etc)
are small tasks suitable for people new to the toporouter to take on.
I would prefer to deal with those issues myself as part of the GSoC
this year.

Yup, those are the features I really want to get other people
implementing, so I can spend my time working on core features like
vias and existing traces..
