Well, that's the trouble, chiefly. Cyrille is already overcommitted, as we all 
are, really. Hacking Krita is fun, but there's a lot to. In any case, if 
libpsd becoms a psd->openraster converter it will benefit all free software 
graphics apps, from krita to gimp, from inkscape to scribus. But for that 
we've got to have OpenRaster nailed. That's the .0 step :-).
