Or perhaps you could discuss it or tell about the results of your
off-list discussion on the GEGL developer list, so it would
become obvious to developers what still needs to be done?
Thus I'm cross-posting this to the GEGL developer list.

BTW, the same issue is for CR2 (Canon raw files). I haven't tried DNG yet.
I wonder a bit that it doesn't work out of the box yet because GEGL
depends on the [LibRaw library] which reads camera raw files and is an
active project.

Personally I think GIMP and its users would benefit much if Camera raw
files could be read and processed natively.
