It is not so easy. From perusing the GIMP dev list I get the impression that the current devs have a tight grip over it, and don't want outside forces to change it too much. There are certain things that everyone wants (16/32 bits per channel, a one-window interface) but they are not given priority because the devs don't like them. And it is a pity because it is a very capable program. A fork would probably be necessary to incorporate radical changes, but Google does not seem to be the right entity for the job.
