> First, KMyMoney does not currently track the creation date of Payees, so including this would involve more than a (hoopefully) simple GUI enhancement.
Ok. Should i open another wishlist item regarding the database of KmyMoney?
like "introduce new database fields: 
- date of payee creation (type=Timestamp)
- channel of payee creation (Type=text)
      with these members (my suggestions):
               - created by manual user data-entry
               - created through manual user data import
               - created through account synchronized data import

> I'm just musing here, but would these additional fields go an a new tab (what would it be called?)  Might it be reasonable to create a "Additional information" tab 
yes, a new tab is a good idea. Called "payee statistics"?

> to include this new information plus what is currently on the Default Category and Account Numbers tabs? 
not if the new tab is called "payee statistics" :) but otherwise, why not.
on the other hand, i like the current tab names, because they are very precise.
Merging "Default Category" and "Account Numbers" would be a "intuitive
navigation loss" there...

> (I think the Transactions, Address, and Matching tabs are likely to be too large to merge. 
i agree

> Separately, are any of these reasonable to put in an additional  column in the Your payees list?
Yes, that is also a good idea and avoids the questions around new tabs or
changing existing tabs.

> There is an additional issue, that Payees can actually be specified on both Transactions and Splits.  I don't know how easy or hard it would be to calculate the value to be added when the Payee is listed on the transaction, since it clearly is not the sum of all splits.
I am not sure i understand your point. My understanding of transaction split it
that the total transaction amount may be split on distinct categories, but NOT
on distinct payees. Therefore all splits of 1 transaction stay booked on 1
single payee. Why should this be an issue to sum up the amounts by payee?
