Currently brotab enables reordering tabs within and between windows, which is awesome.
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium recently introduced native support for the abstraction of tab groups, and it would be nice to see brotab support moving tabs in/out/between those as well at some point.
I have no experience yet coding browser extensions and haven't worked much in Javascript in a long time, but maybe I will have time to try to figure it out next spring if no one else does sooner. I do have a lot of experience with Python, so I could help with that side and am also happy to contribute ideas and thinking about any difficult aspects which might come up.
From some quick research into how to do it on Firefox, I learned that: the queryInfo object returned by browser.tabs.query() now includes a .groupId parameter, and the following new methods have been introduced for the tabs API:
tabs.group(): adds one or more tabs to a group or, if no group is specified, adds the tabs to a new grouptabs.ungroup(): removes one or more tabs from their respective tab groupstabs.moveInSuccession(): modifies the succession relationship for a group of tabs
