I would be happy to mentor you for this. I believe CC have okay'ed
integration of CC stuff into tracker as an approved SoC idea so I think
it should be okay.

We are especially interested in using XMP sidecar files for backing up
user defined metadata (another area we overlap with CC)

Thanks for your interest,
