Ok, I can not (and would not want to) help with f-spot development,
but I could probably help with the migration from f-spot to some other
program with well defined database format (which, by the way, f-spot
certainly has not --- and as the author of f_spot_cleanup,
http://www.svenutcke.de/sw/f-spot/cleanup/ , I know what I am talking
about :-).  

If you think that would be useful, let me know where to you would like
to migrate, and if there are enough people proclaiming interest, I'll
hack something together to export your f-spot database to that target.
