Yes, there are some bugs around, and some significant ones when it comes to 
hotplugging, etc. that need a more unified approach to fix for Windows and OS X 
too.

I've been working on such from the Inkscape, Linux and OS X sides of things, 
and it would be good to coordinate a bit on the fixing.

++OK;

 then I'd suggest that you mentor in a future GSoC and let the mentor org
 share of the stipend rest in the GIMP funds ;)

Sounds like a plan [although the mentor share of the funds don't go 
anywhere else. :-)]

A huge OK by me.

 It's a Wacom Intuos4 in size A5, around 300€, since that
 supports all the stuff we want to support and is not
 a piece of garbage.

A small recommendation, get either an artpen or an airbrush with
it(its about 100€ extra), or you cant test the wheel bits. I recommend
the art pen, because it offers some interesting features you'd miss
with airbrush, that is just a regular pen with the wheel on top.

OK++  (assuming my opinion carries sufficient weight in such matters)

I am all for you obtaining a physical artefact reminding you of continued
promises to ensure extended input devices of various kinds continue
working as expected.

 What's the problem?  I use my Wacom Fun tablet all the time with trunk.
Trunk isn't GTK3 yet. But there are plenty of tablet bugs littering
GTK2 as well. I'm hoping that when he has the tablet, those might get
