Hey Anna,
On my side: +1 if it helps your development efforts, and if the feature branch won't be a "long living" one. (and of course you would merge it with the trunk frequently not to let it diverge too much from other changes). Related actions (by me): I would like to support your efforts on this side by finalizing the 1.4.7 release dates with the community soon (I'd like to send an email about those efforts still today). On request: Would you please enlist the JIRA tasks you'd like to work on related to that specific feature branch (thus the whole community would be able to see the scope of the features you'd working on).
