As I've told Johan, this won't be possible for significant amounts of the API, because human thought really is required to make truly usable APIs. And I worry that the auto-generation will create bad API that will be declared stable and unbreakable without a maintainer ever even looking at it.
PyGTK has used that concept quite successfully for a long time.But nevertheless, it's up to the bindings to decide what they are going to do with the information. If someone wants to write a completely automated binding they should be free to do so. However, I expect most bindings to have small or large parts of manually written APIs on top of the one exported in the GIR/typelib.
