Don't get me wrong. It's great to have those letters even if it mean having some of those now and some later.
I'm not complaining you should complete them faster.

The characters list I provided is just there so you can work on glyphs that are actually used in languages' orthographies, as opposed to others that are there for historical purposes.
Just like it might be useful to prioritize current IPA characters before obsolete ones.

This could be one way to prioritize or harmonize glyph designs. Working by Unicode blocks works too, it's just an arbitrary order. Had every uppercase and lowercase been in the same blocks, it wouldn't be an issue.

As for positioning features, I don't think OpenType features have to be added in a specific order, but your tools force you to. Using Fontforge in a collaborative font project, OpenType features can be added in any order, while characters are added in any order, the tools handles it.

If I understand correctly there is no way I can contribute OpenType features.
