I guess is because nobody has made a proposal.

I don't know if the Adobe license (MIT) is compatible with Boost 
license. The first thing to do is to resolve the license issue. 
Boost.GIL comes from Adobe, so I think that this could be possible. Once 
the Adobe code is delivered with on a Boost compatible license, anyone 
can duplicate it and make a proposal for Boost.
