Please use the UserVoice forum for ideas and feature requests, so others can vote and comment on your proposals. The ImageResizer project isn't just about resizing. We're Lightroom as a web-service, but with a plugin model so things don't get bloated - and the community is free to innovate.
If your idea doesn't get enough votes to be developed by Imazen, don't despair - If you want to take a shot at implementing it, we'll help you out! We're generally willing to publish community plugins in the /Contrib folder, although you may prefer to host it on your own GitHub repostiory, so we can link to it below.
Here are a few we know about (leave a comment if we've missed one!)

Bertrand Le Roy (Orchard author): State of .NET Image Resizing: how does imageresizer do? * Note the performance chart is bogus due to a mistake in the Bertrand's benchmark code. The corrected chart displays actual apples-to-apples data, instead of comparing low-quality and high-quality image resizing as the original benchmark does.

See something on the ideas forum that interests you? The plugin model means you can implement it independently. If it's general-purpose enough, I might put it in the standard download.
Our goal is to support every CMS. And, we do, generally. But there's a lot of value in having deeper integration, so you don't have to manually add the querystring.
Dozens of CMSes have integrated the Core library natively, and we encourage that. Plugins have to be separately purchased, but they're quite affordable, and aren't usually needed for intranet or private installations.
Provide an open-source module that provides stronger integration between a CMS and ImageResizer, and you could be eligible for a free enterprise license or a 2YR Bronze support contract.
