About the parsing? Certainly, but the potentiel
project spans many different areas of LilyPond.
And he design space is vast.

With Jacques Menu, we some had private discussions
about this. It may be feasible to implement XML export
by utilizing Jacque's musicformats library (see
his post). So far I only have rough ideas about
the LilyPond part, and it is not my current priority.

I think the most advanced solution so far is Jan-Peter's
https://github.com/openlilylib/lilypond-export
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2018-10/msg00068.html
(CCing him). One could start off from that.

By do means do try to help out, but don't
hold your breathe for it. It is a large
endeavor.
