No. The good news (which is not news at all) is that color selectors
are pluggable, so one can write such a module without becoming
full-time GIMP developer.

In fact, three stock color selectors are modules, e.g. CMYK selector:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/modules/color-selector-cmyk.c

And there is at least one 3rd party color selector for the CIE LCH colorspace:

So anyone with programming skills can contribute an HSL color selector
(I'd first check if babl supports it though).
