As a separate project, any thoughts on us replacing the current CLI with
a new one, based upon having a more complete RESTful API + a new CLI that
does nothing but be an interface to it?

In that case CLI can be completely re-written in python or any other language. 
This would eventually bring in more contributors to the project.
That's a very good point. :)

I'd only been thinking of it from the point of view of giving
us a "full" RESTful API that's equivalent to the CLI.  So
people could do some very in depth automation and integration
with it.

But having the CLI as Python does sound like it would be much
easier to develop + get contributors for too.

Proposal for 3.6 maybe? :)
Converting existing CLI into shared object will enable developers to extend the CLI functionality as required. (Similar to libgfapi)

Another wish is to create GlusterFS SDK(Includes both CLI and GfApi functionality) in multiple programming languages(Starting with Python and golang). It is easy to create web app/mobile app/REST apis if SDK is available.
