There will also be a new Display/HDR HackFest in around 2 weeks where most prominent Devs from different DE and companies like Valve, ADM and Igalia will attend. Hosted by the latter in La Coruña, Spain. https://www.phoronix.com/news/2024-Linux-Display-Hackfest-May

The protocol in gitlab
color management is by no means “mainly used” in gaming
I would say it’s a lot more important to content authoring, photography and the like than gaming.
