Hello Moritz. As I'm the author of this WMS idea I would like to comment on it. It's not about rewrite of r.in.wms but about providing background images in GUI for visual analysis and digitizing. Such implementation should be as user-friendly as possible and thus it's a good question if it should use GDAL or be homebrew. Also wasn't a WMS/WMS-T and tiled source support in GDAL depending on compiled-in Xerces-C? Being able to import data for analysis would be a nice bonus, still WMS was designed for visual use and not for analysis data transfer like WCS does.
