Inkscape code, submitting patches etcetera?
    
AFAIK nobody is working on it.
  
I may be doing something that would help.  Have a look at my Summer of Code proposal found on this page <http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~gbanaszk/code/soc07/index.htm>.  The suggested order of attack for the items in my proposal has UI Redesign at the top and Font Family Variants next.  I am currently working on a bug (making <tref> work) but will be moving to the UI when that's done.  Maybe I will get to the font family stuff before the end of the summer, but maybe not - even if I do not, I intend to work on it during school, too.

Let me know if that's the kind of work you're looking for.
