The GUI for GRASS module in the plugin is also generated based on
--interface-description, qgm files are only used to define a subset of
module's options or to override option attributes (like label) if
necessary. So it is already implemented, but always combined with qgm,
skipping qgm, it maybe used to generate generic UI for any module.
Using qgm gives more power, for example table field combo options
based on current layer selected as input, setting input type from
input layer, selecting feature categories in map canvas and so on.

Do you see a possibility how we could join the effort?
