There has been lately an attempt to avoid the NIST's curves due to suspicions about their generation. One of them are the brainpool curves at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5639 which seem to be sponsored by the German BSI. Having them in nettle would be a good thing (the same authors are working on standardizing these curves in TLS and PKIX).
Similarly, an implementation of Curve25519 [0] would probably also be useful to have in the library, as it is also under active discussion in several contexts.
