I am not much of a coder, but I have a mod idea that could either be incorporated into a bigger mod or by itself. I'm thinking of a lottery, but without direct participation other than being on the server.
Basically, a random amount of a random item is given to random people at random times. This would be configurable, such as set times in-game, what items (completely random, some items disabled, a weight system like DropParty), amount of that item, and how many people (one person, half of server, certain ratio of people connected). The mod could also use those notification popups to say who got what when it happens. I also thought of a play-on-rust name: LotteRebar.
For example: The lottery hits, giving that guy you hate a single chocolate bar. An hour later, that new guy asking for help luckily receives a full stack of cooked chicken breast, tells about it excitedly over chat, and then gets ganked. On another full server of 100 people, with the research kits disabled, everyone just received a bolt-action rifle with three 5.56 rounds.
This isn't actually a direct request, just something I wanted to put out there and see if anyone is interested in running with the idea. You can credit me if you want, but I don't really care. This is like an open source idea.

This can pretty much be done already with rust essentials latest release. It has to be triggered manually with the /random command... but I guess you could add it to a times cycle message to have it happen every 2 hours or whatever you wanted. Doesn't do a random item but does do random people.
For example, this if added to the motd.ini would give 2 random players on the server 25 cooked chicken breasts every 6 hours.
