No, I don't know of any plans. Feel free to start this work, it would be 
great if the Nebula folks would support this work. (IIRC they also 
donated the PCI card so that Florian was able to write the driver;)

Basically you need a device and the protocol spec for this device to 
start. Or you have to analyze the Windows driver.

As far I know, yes. Unfortunally you need to apply the export-i2c patch 
to your kernel before you get it running, that's basically because the 
bttv maintainers don't like to apply the tiny patch to export the 
i2c-master-xfer function but want a complete bloatet sysfs 
implementation instead. Anyway, I hope it's just a matter of time to 
solve this issue...
