Great! I see that you're using SVN as your main repository. Is it maybe
possible to do the development and contribution via Launchpad and Bazaar, as
I see you also have code there <https://code.launchpad.net/shotwell>, though
of an older date? I'm a bit more comfortable with Bazaar for CVS.

I'll give it a week or so to collect comments/suggestions while I get back
from a music festival I'm visiting and can then start with some first steps.
