What about having some kind of plugin architecture (I know a plugin with plugins is probably a bit meta!) so that other DBMS backends can easily use your manager? I'm thinking that other backends like SQLAnywhere could easily also benifit from your work just by implementing a small stub for your plugin api.... I think you GSOC proposal would make a fantastic addition to QGIS and I wish you all success with your proposal.
