That's just a filter, right? It's easy, just implement a KisFilter that 
performs that algorithm. If I understand, a convolutions (check, we got that) 
with some sort of compositing with the original image.

Never thought of doing that... But again, it's trivial to write a KisFilter 
based plugin that reads a layer, filters it through GraphicsMagick and writes 
it back. Of course, one is constrained in that case by the colorspaces and 
bit depths GM affords. In the same way, it's trivial to write a Krita 
KisFilter plugin that cooperates with a Gimp server to filter Krita layers 
through Gimp plugins, although that's even more constrained than 
GraphicsMagick, of course. Just 8 bit rgba and graya...
