Few months ago I've implemented something similar - a "role" for traffic
manager. It consists of a per-queue custom field, some local
modifications in Action.pm and custom ScripActions in DB.
I'll probably gonna try to customize it so that we can have the kind of
ScripActions you've mentioned.

In my opinion it would be great to have a easy-to-use mechanism for
creation of custom roles like 'Requestor' od 'AdminCc'.
