For the record, I'm in favour of this approach. There is no real benefit in setting up a foundation structure which will just be a fundraising structure, causing some people lots of work and cost, when there is an organisation prepared to partner us which already has all of this in place.
The downside of piggybacking on the GNOME Foundation is that you lose control. You'll be beholden to whatever the interests of the GNOME Foundation are, which may or may not be the same as what GIMP developers want, and you might end up dragged in directions you don't want to go.
