To a limited degree, yes. PDFKit is supposed to be phased out eventually in favour of PopplerKit. So I'll try to support PDFKit as long as programs still use it (which I think is just GWorkspace now).
PopplerKit, on the other hand, is gui, but does not want glib or Qt dependencies, since it is a GNUstep library, and GNUstep has its own runloop. So I would be in favour of anything that lets PopplerKit continue to do what it does without depending on glib or Qt.

No, but upstream is no longer active (supporting PopplerKit instead), which is why I had to do the porting.
