I would like to see this as well. I have many organizations/managers wanting to pay for memberships for their staff—it would be really useful to use the Relationships feature to allow people to gift memberships to anyone related to them via a pull-down menu. Right now we have to do this manually, and you can’t split a single transaction into multiple gift memberships. Additionally, it messes up things on the membership renewal side if you don’t attach the renewal activity to a specific transaction—i.e., paying to renew a “free” membership doesn’t extend the expiration date, and that makes a giant mess of things on the back end.

Yes! It would be nice to limit the pages a user could change/edit to a specific part of the site. I have admins and a “contributor” permission level, and use membership to authorize permission to view, but it would be nice to allow editing rights for a very small cross-section of the site.
