Implementing the new status notifier specification would get you a long way 
there, in addition to improving GNOME Shell interoperability with 
applications written for Plasma or Unity. There's even (finally!) an 
implementation that GNOME could just merge:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

(The extension was developed by rgcjonas based on patches submitted by 
Giovanni Campagna back in 2011. Thanks to Giovanni Panozzo (Reminna 
upstream) for the link and to Simone Caronni for forwarding it here.)
