Every once in a while, someone comes and says "Git GUIs aren't as good
as I'd expect, I'll write my own". The result is that we have a myriad
of GUIs (see
http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools#Graphical_Interfaces ),
many of them being half-finished and/or abandonned. I don't believe
adding yet-another-one is going to improve the situation, and
pick-one-and-improve-it is IMHO a much better approach.

I use mostly the command-line, so I couldn't make a detailed review of
the existing, but tools like git-cola and a few others sound "modern"
to me (Qt4 & co).

If you decide to go on with your project, either you want to carry it
out alone, or you'll have to convince other developers to join. In the
second case, a good starting point would be to explain why the other
GUI are not good enough, and why you can't just contribute to them.
