indeed, that's a pretty cool idea.
given that probably more than 50% of webmin/virtualmin is primarily about configuration management, it would seem like a very logical step to support some kind of CM wrapper for puppet or chef, especially all the remote handling (clustered/RPC) stuff could be simplified by using a real CM system that works across SSH tunnels.
On the other hand, doing that would obviously add an external dependency... but a simple plugin could be a cool little project for starters!

That would be nice, but it isn't on our roadmap currently. If you know some Perl though, feel free to start one.

EDIT: There appears to be a pretty basic webmin module for puppet: https://forge.puppetlabs.com/panaman/webmin
