Turning plain list items into checkboxes is already possible:

,----
| C-c C-x C-b
| 
| Toggle checkbox status or (with prefix arg) checkbox presence at point. With double prefix argument, set it to ‘[-]’, which i s considered to be an intermediate state.
| 
|   * If there is an active region, toggle the first checkbox in the
|     region and set all remaining boxes to the same status as the
|     first. With a prefix arg, add or remove the checkbox for all items
|     in the region.
| 
|   * If the cursor is in a headline, toggle checkboxes in the region
|     between this headline and the next (so not the entire subtree).
| 
|   * If there is no active region, just toggle the checkbox at point.
