If anyone wants to improve GIMP on OS X and put it up on the App Store, for whatever fee, they are free to do that. We can't stop anyone from doing that anyway and as long as the changes are pushed back upstream, everyone will benefit. Now I am curious if some real improvements to GTK+ on OS X and GIMP would result from this. Currently there doesn't seem to be any interest in GIMP on OS X. Even though there's a pretty well working Quartz port of GTK+, there haven't been any successful attempts to make a binary GIMP installer from this (as far as I know). I very much doubt that money would change this, but if someone thinks that he/she could make a living from this, please go ahead and give it a try. In general we (and the GTK+ developers) are very much interested in getting your changes integrated upstream.
