I've created this Wiki page where I reported your very helpful list:
http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/Tools_generic_ui_workgroup

My proposition (basically yours too) is that every tool could 
consistently have an icon (top-right of the cursor) unless they already 
have a unique and recognizable icon. Also they should have status text, 
as you note too.

I will pass this through Mitch to validate but I'm pretty sure he will 
agree (or you can answer, if you read this, Mitch). This is quite simple 
and straightforward but meaningful.

So now what we miss are the texts and the missing icons (which would 
likely be nearly the same ones as the toolbox version, but monochrome). 
See under cursors/ directory for style and size. Basically you will see 
various icons like tool-*.png. Let's make the missing ones (like 
tool-brightness-contrast.png, etc.).

Anyone up to the task?
Icon and text contributors are welcome. :-)
