Openismus has some trainees who could do simple stuff like removing the
model/view split and maybe some other things, if you can describe them.

This seems fairly harmless. May I apply it?
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556145
"Move child API into GooCanvasContainer"

And I still believe that this is the right thing to do (The goocanvasmm
API already does this):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555097#c33
"Common interface to position and resize items"
