I have been asked on several occasions to make bootchart more
palatable for other OS's, including ChromeOS and even Android. This
has previously been shelved entirely, and I don't know if it's
currently even feasible, but at least logistically it should be a lot
easier to attempt.

The rest of the things I was looking at were items that being in-tree
did not affect, like new ways of grouping the process bars, better IO
visualization, etc.
