bugzilla.gnome.org tracks new features. However we don't have a
roadmap yet in that they haven't been assigned to 2.2/2.4/2.6/3.0
milestones yet.

Right now you can do this by feeding your raw data to a
GdkPixbufLoader, but I agree that a convenience function 
would be nice, since you're about the third person so far to miss the
GdkPixbufLoader approach.

So maybe open a bug report to add this convenience function. Put the
string "API" in the keywords field since it's an API
addition/modification.

GdkPixbufLoader is designed for this, of course.
