I'd say go ahead and add them to the ideas page.

> <proposal>
> Project: Verifying signatures of pdf files
> 
> Brief explanation: Okular show provided information about signatures
> if a pdf document has been signed. The poppler library used by Okular
> to render pdf files does support verification of signed pdf files
> and the retrieval of signature information.  However, this functionality
> is not used by Okular.  Goal of the project is to extend the Okular GUI to
> show whether a document is signed, and to show the signature
> details.
> 
> Bonus points for any steps towards signing pdf files in Okular.
> 
> Expected results: When opening a signed document, Okular should show
> that the document is signed, and whether the signature is valid,
> expired, etc. Detailed information about the signature(s) should
> be made available, through a new menu entry (all signatures) or by
> a context menu for individual signatures.
> 
> Knowledge prerequisite: C++ and Qt, very little cryptography skills

> Project: Annotation improvements
> 
> Brief explanation: Okular/poppler already implement lots of support
> for annotations in pdf files.  However, there is always more to be
> desired.  For example, not all annotation types from the pdf standard
> are supported [0,1].  Others are supported, but the rendering is not
> quite right [2,3,4].  The goal of this project is to implement
> some of the missing annotation times, and fix as many rendering
> issues as possible.
