Both of those are technical issues, so not within the remit of the GNOME
Foundation Board.

But the Foundation has helped organise various hackfests in the past,
such as the Python hackfest[1], and the GNOME+Mono one[2]. So I'm sure
that if other bindings needed a similar push to be better integrated in
the GNOME platform, the Foundation would be happy to help, budgets
permitting.
