Still open..
The nearest thing we have to a project manager right now is "xgsch2pcb".
It was intended to be a proof of concept workflow backend for a more
general project manager, and contains code for a gschem -> PCB workflow
- including live updating of a PCB design via D-Bus.

I'm glad you said PyGTK. (That is what we used for rapid prototyping
xgsch2pcb, and I think it suits the project manager task quite neatly).
I've volunteered to act as a mentor this year, and if you ended up
working on any xgsch2pcb code (or were to take parts of it to use in a
more general work-flow tool), then I would indeed be interested to work
with you on this project.
