Brannon, This question has been asked many times on this list and every time it is GEGL is described as the solution. When I tossed out the link to the GEGL site I did this sort of "tong in cheek" knowing that GEGL was not moving along at a very good pace. As you found out from the other responses GEGL could really use someone that would take on a leadership role and push things forward. To my way of thinking getting more than 8 bits/channel is the next major hurdle that GIMP needs to get over. Of course, unless someone steps up and starts moving GEGL ahead or some other solution is selected it will either never happen or it will be a long way off.
Perhaps you could consider taking on that leadership role? Or perhaps there is someone else here that could step up and take this on? I would consider it myself but I am the lead developer on another open source project and I simply don't have the time needed to do this.
