It seems unlikely that this work is large enough to justify a branch.
Why don't you just work together and submit a patch when you are done?

We have talked about using branches for projects of the scale of the
planned querytree redesign, which would (a) hit most of the backend,
and (b) break everything until it's done, so other developers couldn't
get anything done meanwhile if it's done on the tip. An NT-service
wrapper should not have either of those properties, seems to me.
