Just go ahead. However I would also greatly appreciate any extra eyes
on the patches in the backlog. For example is the AI-railway patch a
good idea based on the fact that it may make it easier for an attacker
to capure a continent? This is a question were I have no answer yet.

Doesn't look like so.

You may do this (you have to cope with the new city dialog for
this). However note that I will only accept the CMA after it has the
ability to save presets and let the user manage them. This includes
changes to client/attribute to handle two types of attributes:
server-saved and client-saved. But these have to be access through the
same (existing) interface. So there is a lot of work to do. And so
little time available.
