I am glad that this topic has been brought forward again :). We did a
similar effort long long time back, but it didn't quite tick.

http://www.gnome.org/projects/devtools

The website is kind of outdated, but I believe we can revive it and make
some real effort this time. A mailing list was also setup for the group
called gnome-devtools(@)gnome.org. I guess it is still used by some
people (e.g. devhelp).

So, in addition to coming up with plans, release system and other
necessary stuffs for meta distribution, I would also like to see
collaborations among the development tools in terms of integration and
consistency.

There has been some great success in Anjuta/devhelp/glade integration
since then, but what we need more is to extend such performance among
other development tools.

Thanks.
