Neat! Especially the FreeCAD path you mentioned as many manufacturers 
publish their 3D-models already. Just in some inconvenient format for us.

Did you know Øyvind Aabling's work [1] on 3D and footprints? The idea is 
somewhat similar and worth a look.

I'd suggest subscribing to to kicad-lib-committers [2] list which is 
even more suited for library related discussion. There is some 
discussion about overall library facelift and even an open database 
component library for everyone to use (not just KiCad). Work has been 
interfering, so my input has been quite minimal lately.

Best regards,
