Hey Victor,
Working on the same kind of thing over here:

Hi,
I wrote a few wrappers for the PyQGIS Programmer's guide that you might
take a look at: http://locatepress.com/ppg/data_code
Includes a generic add layer function that takes determines whether it
is a vector or raster and calls the appropriate supporting function.
Nothing earth-shattering; was meant as an example to get folks thinking
in that direction.
I'm definitely interested in this project...

IMO I would rather see a new module and not put it in qgis.utils.
Something like qgis.py or qgis.wrappers or something like that that.

My ideas is definitely to put this into core (that's what I wrote in
my email when i detailed the plans that i have for this), but I have
started it as a separate repo to make it easier to collaborate and to
start moving ASAP.
I could write a QEP with this idea, get it approved, throw a bunch of
empty py modules in qgis.utils and then start working, but I like to
first do some work, get people into it, and then do the bureucracy to
pass this to core (I am sure no one will say no to this once a nice
collection of functions is ready)
I will wait for other people to voice their opinion, and if most
people agree on going taht other way, I have nothing against it
