I'm sure other people would like new base classes to refine existing concepts, but
I think that's where subclasses, feats, spells and revisions come in. You're welcome to homebrew whatever, but I probably wouldn't participate in a contest for the best necromancer base class (for example).

Uncharted territories like leadership, technology, and creature-classes do interest me though. I'd be happy to participate in related contests.
