First of all, thank you for building what seems to be the only open source chess application with a nice looking GUI.
I'm wondering if there would be interest from the developers of Cutechess in turning the GUI application into more of a full featured Chess application with database features, or if the focus for Cutechess is just managing engine tournaments. I ask because I am hoping to work on developing such an application, and have been reviewing prior work before getting started.
If there's interest from the developers here, I will likely try to contribute this work to Cutechess. (I know much more C or Python than C++, so that's one significant limitation.) If not, I think your .ui files would make a great starting point for such an app.
Some features I think are important:
Support for Internet games via FICS / lichess.org
Full implementation of opening books and browsable opening information (see the lichess.org opening explorer for what I have in mind).
Opening / viewing PGN games
Board themability
Set of annotation tools
Board editor (set up arbitrary positions for analysis)
Hi! Thanks for the comments. I can't really speak for the other contributors but my current focus is improving the UI on MacOS. The problem working with a cross-platform framework such as Qt is that the application feels bit foreign on all operating systems.
If you decide to work on any issue, please create a separate issue for easier tracking and assign the issue to yourself. This way we can (hopefully) limit the amount of duplicate work.

Didn't want to make a bunch of issues for these before knowing if there's interest. Thanks!
