I was about to publish this new module http://drupal.org/sandbox/bripatand/1787684 and I was advised to contact you to see if menu_listchildren module cannot be merged with yours.
(See comment http://drupal.org/node/1793146#comment-6651864)
I could work on a patch that would add this functionality to your module and then assist you in maintaining the module.
Let me now if this is would be acceptable to you.

Instead of merging this module, what I will like is adding some hook so we can have one API module and other module can provide token and associated features... #1287610: Create a Menu Item Type API.

All those modules can be in the same project at then end.

Sounds like a very good idea to me. I'll be happy to rework my module to interface it with your API.
There is also this initiative to move this functionality to core D8 as well (http://drupal.org/node/916388) and turn menu items into entities. So we may wonder if it is worth it for D7, considering that building this API would be quite some work and will impact significantly the existing modules.
Do you have any plan regarding when this new API could be ready?
Did you get any feed back from the maintainers of the other modules?

No plan for now. I certainly need a day of work and I don't have the time right and personally don't need it. #916388: Convert menu links into entities is very interesting this approach is definitely to much work and certainly not even possible.
