Hi,

Personally I'm a bit puzzled. What specifically do you mean with
"contributing image processing algorithms to GIMP"?

Writing arbitrary C code for image processing is probably not a good
idea. But if you are interested in contributing to the project, there
are several areas we'd be grateful for help in. Most image processing
will now be happening in GEGL (www.gegl.org) which is used by GIMP.

There always are filters to be ported to GEGL operations, new GEGL
operations to write, existing operations to be ported to use OpenCL
for hardware acceleration etc.
