None of the GPS developers is a VIM expert (and in fact none of us uses 
anything other than GPS for general development). Some used to be Emacs users 
(I was the maintainer of the ada-mode for Emacs), but then we implemented 
what we needed in GPS, switched IDEs, and never looked back :-)

You would have to be more precise in terms of what exactly you would like to 
do in terms of integration. I believe that looking at the XML files and 
Python scripts you would be able to do most things that you want, but that 
might not be the case.
I suggest you give it a try, and if you have more precise questions, come back 
to this list (this might in fact be of general interest to people who haven't 
really looked at GPS customability, one of its great strength)
