I would have to say that I'm opposed to including this in any "official"
way as a part of GNOME.  This application is Linux specific, while GNOME
runs on just about any *nix platform.  If we include applications like
this, we're endorsing Linux as our platform of choice.  I won't go into
any more detail on my opinions right now, but if you want clarification
of some of the issues, let me know and I'll write a more detailed
message that outlines the reasons for my objection in more detail.

P.S. I believe that there are a few other applications that are Linux
specific that have been included in GNOME before, and I don't believe
they belong either.
