I agree the overall concept makes sense. Some questions to consider:
1) Are we too far into the F10 process for this?
It's a fairly simple change. You can stick it in the current ks file and
do a compose and test or if you want me to do that and post a image for
further testing, I can.
2) How does this interact with the default PolicyKit configuration?
PolicyKit configuration should be tweaked to accept user password like
you said but I don't know about the details much.
3) How do other important OS vendors use sudo, is there a chance to
harmonize a bit?
4) Does it still make sense to have a root password (and root account)?
Are you asking about disabling the root account by default? Not possible
without Anaconda changes and at this point, I wouldn't think about
anything major for this release atleast.
