I’m considering a reimplementation/rewrite of Tracker.

Enhancing Tracker is something that is long overdue.
I doubt that a complete rewrite is absolutely necessary, but it probably
wouldn't hurt either to start with a clean slate for the initial design.
If you're familiar with Tracker, I guess you'll be able to take over a
lot of the existing codebase afterwards.
One thing that is high on my wish list is being able to customize the
view not only with things like grouping, and true preview images, but
possibly also add-ons that could work like a threaded mail view if you
like to.
Alexandre Deckner started refactoring/rewriting Tracker a (long) while
ago; to be honest, I haven't really checked its state (it is pretty much
stalled since months or even years), but maybe that would be a good
starting point:

and https://github.com/aldeck/haiku/tree/tracker_layout
Bye,
Axel.
