Some of the addon's gyp files could be translated to the GN without even requiring author to do so.
The syntax is generally pretty similar: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/GNQuickStart, https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/GNCookbook . I'm +1 for moving to GN if it is better than GYP, since GYP has quite a lot of problems and caveats.
