This has been a highly requested feature in LT Discord especially from @Magniloquent and @bi3liu and I've always wanted this in PR2, so I spent all of yesterday making a little prototype to get the ball rolling and hopefully pique some interest here for this feature.
Here's a modified client & custom server with rudimentary replaying capability, and switching cameras with the 1234 keys:
I was thinking there could be a "Replay Manager" somewhere with your last 10 replays, and you could save a replay or send someone a replay in a PM etc.

It seems like a lot of work but it's surprisingly simple to add. Most of the work is server-side (which I heard you like,) the replays are recorded by the server and played back from the server so there's no room funny business, bar hacking the game, which would be on the replay. But you can do it however you like.
Here are my implementation details:
Any questions/criticism welcome.
