No one at Red Hat is working on it as far as I know.  While there are
several architectural things that could be fixed in a new
configuration system, bear in mind that even after it's released we'd
have to have GConf compatibility for a long time, since so many
projects are consuming it; some in nontrivial ways (e.g. sabayon).

But this is definitely a better discussion for desktop-devel-list at gnome.org.
