It's not hard, but I don't want to add all sorts of features just
because I can. If I did that, then Revelation would just become a
bloated, hard-to-use mess, so I need to be critical of what
functionality I put in.

As there isn't too much demand for this (you're the first to request it
in 4 years), and since it's not too hard to accomplish what you want
anyway (copy/paste the accounts into a new file), I don't see any good
reason to include this.

I know you didn't ask for a network server, and for your situation it
might not be a good solution. But in general, for sharing accounts
between multiple people a network server is really the only sensible
solution. Say you have 10 or more users - doing manual export/import is
never going to work.
