Sounds like an excellent idea!

In the first step I would implement only *query* support, so no
syncronization with a running shotwell is necessary.
Doing operations via the cmd line is more advanced and I am not
sure if that makes sense.

That is *GOOD& to know. I faintly remember that there was an announcement
some time ago about the hand-over, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, with this said, I am happy to dig (again) into some shotwell
features and bugs ;-) One is actually open since long, the comment
editing of events feom the event screent jumps to the comment of
the first photo instead of the event comment ;-)

ALl the best
