1) GPU mineable with de facto standard miners (sgminer, cgminer, ccminer, etc)
...
So, the question is: are there any coders available/willing for task 1? 
'cause all the others are worthless without it ...
You are slightly confused. This coin was conceived as a CPU-minable coin specifically to depart from the model of large mining farms and centralized pools. It is the intent of "egalitarian mining" (one of the key design goals -- see first post) that ordinary users can compete on equal footing with specialized rigs, returning us to Satoshi's original model of a decentralized network.
To be realistic, CPU coins do not have a great track record of staying that way. It remains to be seen whether this coin will be any different. The designers tried. Did they succeed? Only time will tell.
If it turns out the design succeeds, and the coin remains CPU-mineable, it will likely never appeal to specialized "miner community" to which you allude. Instead the necessary mining will be done by ordinary users, with the mining rewards paid back to the users themselves.
Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens.
What's about botnets? They will kill this coin easily.
Actual mining botnets have been discussed in detail in regards to other coins and how much of a threat they pose is questionable.
Botnets are very good for some things and not very good for others. The bottom line is the owner of a botnet wants to keep his botnet as large as possible and for as much as is possible, undetected.
This makes botnets very good for DDoS attacks as the client will often not know that they are part of an attack, in contrast to this, mining is very obvious and detectable by the clients.
This means two things, this is risky for the owner of the botnet as he may have people de-infect their PC or turn it off altogether, this also makes these botnets very expensive to rent. This then throws into question not just risk/reward but whether you will actually break even.
Sys admins running server farms is much more of a risk in my opinion.
