thanks for effort. Basically I see this as the foundation for a

Yes, that's the goal. I'm currently evaluating lensfun. Currently I
see the following issues using lensfun from inside Hugin:
1.) Lensfuns reports only a very general lens type fisheye. Hugin
supports circular fisheye, full frame fisheye, orthographic,
stereographic, equisolid, Thoby fisheye.
2.) The crop rectangle/circle is not stored in the database.
3.) Lensfun does not natively build on windows (you can only cross
compile on linux for windows).

These things can be fixed as they seem to be the sort of thing that lensfun should support. I hoped that this would make a good Summer of Code project but nobody was interested.

We have a lot to gain from Hugin/lensfun integration: Hugin and Calibrate Lens are the best tools for adding new camera/lenses to the lensfun database, using the database to detect lenses will make Hugin simpler and more reliable, and there is a wider community around RAW converters that are already commited to using and maintaining lensfun.
