The maintainers are an all-volunteer bunch. If the suggestion gets picked up as a student project, this means that it would be done during a school term, not for example, by an intern currently ready and waiting for assignments.

I like the idea to add cover images, because it represents another reason to have a right-hand panel as in my suggestion to [dock the entry editor on the right](https://discourse.jabref.org/t/option-to-position-editor-as-a-vertical-panel/4080/2). It is also very handy to display the first page of a PDF as the cover page of journal articles, which is something other reference managers do.
