As Sven has pointed out there is work underway to add CM awareness to GIMP and I am sure that any help you could provide would be very welcome by those developing GIMP and the GIMP user community. In fact the current GIMP development snapshot has some CM functionality but as Sven said needs more work. In addition there is CM related work going on with X.Org, CUPS, CinePaint, enblend, Hugin, LPROF, ArgyllCMS, Scribus, Krita, ImageMagick and many other applications. If you want to keep informed about what is happening with CM for OSS projects I would recommend that you subscribe to the OpenICC mailing list. Developers from all of the above projects are active on that mailing list as well as many others.
