I'm sure others are more competent to answer your question, but I would suspect that it's fairly easy to add such support by just adding some Scheme code. A first step could be to define a markup command that draws the tablature, similar to the current support for fret diagrams. Then, you could make a music function that takes a melody as input and adds the corresponding markup commands as text scripts to the notes. (A more ambituous alternative could be to make a separate context where the tablature is typeset, something like the support for figured bass or chord names.)

I have an urge to create xaphoon tablature in lilypond. See http://xaphoon.com/XaphoonSheetMusic/index.htm for an example of how it looks. My question is simple: how easy would it be for me to implement it, and where should I start looking in the source code.
