I sure hope so. I've been considering making my own game front-end (yes, yet another one) only written in Java since it's what I'm best at - so much easier to understand than C++ - but that's a lot of work. There's only so much contribution I can do - you may have seen the small issues from CosmicDan in the last version, that's pretty much my extent of C++ knowledge heh.
Attract is a pretty stable (and FAST) front-end though, so I will instead work on some library-management tools I had ideas for

Mostly inspired by my own experiences of tedious tasks, and some issues others have been having. Perhaps an all-purpose artwork/metadata scraper that supports many of the sources we have out there.
Feel free to send me any requests of things you think could greatly benefit via a third-party tool (NB: it will be Java, but last I checked the Raspberry Pi could run full Java runtime OK). All open-sourced on GitHub of course.
EDIT: Learning Squirrel might be a good idea, it seems a nice language. I could integrate some functions inside Attract-Mode itself then.
