From my knowledge, nobody works on this.

I'm aware of the feature requests and have a rough imagination what paper space and viewports are good for.
But I never needed them nor used them, because I never used AutoCAD.

From a developers point of view a detailed specification description would be a good starting point. I know there are lots of sources, where these AutoCAD features are explained, but for a developer, never used these features, it is tough to iterate all the sources, filter the needed information and draw the right conclusions.
So a description from users view, what is really needed, can possibly attract developers to have a look at it.

Then a developer has to elaborate, what the DXF reference tells us about paper space and viewports, that the implementation will be compatible with other software.
At least the question is, if the mature LibreCAD kernel concept has the interfaces to implement these features and how much efforts it will cost.
