This reasoning has already been taken in account even by distributions
that tend to attract more developper profiles.

Many end user tools are developped in python for this reason, because
python has the reputation of being easy to learn (though arguably perl
or ruby do their job well in that area too).

Two well-known examples in these area are networkmanager and
system-config-printer.

I suggest you to add yourself in this page :
http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging

add some entries in the language list.

We need java experts, and vala and D are interesting too :-)
