Maybe it's time to create a "task force".
On the LilyPond side there are currently two options:
- built-in musicxml2ly
- the improved version of philomelos.net
  which hasn't been backported yet
And perhaps there is some big potential in the work Peter Bjuhr is 
currently doing for ly2musicxml inside Frescobaldi. Frescobaldi's new 
ly.music module may be a great help with its LilyPond score DOM approach 
that is (AFAIK) already capable of writing a .ly file from its internal 
representation.
