Yes, his name is Devid Spagni - see http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/6928. He's aware of the problems, but I don't think he is actively working on TTConv. He has said that TTConv needs a lot of work. The original Python scripts are here if you fancy sorting them out yourself: http://www.mige.altervista.org/index.php?mod=Download/Kicad_Utility.
I would agree that it would be nice to have an easy to use import facility, preferably from the kicad File menu, but it's a matter of finding the time to write it. The method needs to be cross-platform. Graphics import can be done right now (using cross-platform tools), but the methods are ugly. The method I would recommend for bitmaps is to convert the image to an ASCII PBM using Gimp, and then use the AWK script I re-posted. Have you tried that? This is a lot quicker and easier than editing someone else's scripts :), even if you have to download and install gimp and cygwin. Robert.
