Maybe you should start with an extensive list of what you can't do with mod_voicemail that you are missing. The thought of making a separate module to pretend to be Asterisk makes me sad. I consider that a step backwards. If you want to make mod_voicemail better so you can personally do anything you choose with it (such as make it emulate other systems) that's a *bit* better.

Hello everyone,
While extensive tweaks to Mod_voicemail and phrases can get "pretty close" to emulating existing voicemail systems like Asterisk, "pretty close" doesn't cut it when you have many discerning users that have become accustomed to the behavior of a given system. I want to move to FreeSWITCH voicemail but I don't want to have to reprint quick reference cards and retrain users and support staff.
I want to make FreeSWITCH mod_voicemail even better by expanding its already impressive customization. A few tweaks here, and few new features there and we should be able to do drop in replacements for Asterisk and presumably other voicemail systems.

You'll notice I haven't included a dollar/euro/pound amount... Well it's because I'm not even sure of the scope of this work. I'm hoping to get some discussion going first (of course any work we pay for will be open source and given back). So, what are your thoughts?
