Tell me about it. osm-gps-map was originally created out of TangoGPS [1]. I forked the code, made it into a library, and have been improving it ever since. Unfortunately, the original TangoGPS author, Marcus Bauer, ignores any emails from me, other osm-gps-map developers, or users, that request permission to change the license of osm-gps-map to LGPL. I guess the lesson here is to never create a library, derived from a GPL project, unless you are sure that the original copy write holders are open to re-licensing those parts of the code to LGPL, aka mature and reasonable people. So good luck with libchamplain, and I am genuinely sorry that I cannot contribute any code from osm-gps-map to it.
