Another language binding would indeed be a nice project and the Python
binding could also be improved. What's Yosh's opinion on the latter?

IMO "Save for Web" is complex enough for a project.

How is this fairly straightforward with the current architecture? I
would rather say that it is currently almost impossible to implement
sanely.

I don't see why we should wait with GEGL integration. There are people
waiting for the 2.4 release to start this work. It would be a huge
mistake to postpone this. The amount of GEGL integration that is
planned for the next release is small anyway and is unlikely going to
delay the 2.6 release.
