FYI, I found this while browsing the accepted SoC applications:

If this is completed, work should be done on WiFi key handling:
currently,
NetworkManager will ask the user for the WEP or WPA key of the wireless
network it connects to every time it connects, which isn't very
user-friendly. As Gentoo allows one to configure wireless network settings
in /etc/conf.d/wireless, the keys could be retrieved from that file. Some
changes to NetworkManager's core will be necessary to support this though,
which implies one can't be sure it'll be accepted by the core maintainers.
Looks like you can take this off your TODO. :-)
