Yeah, such a person probably doesn't exist . Though some one could at least bring them together in one room to discus it. Albeit a virtual room .
May be NAMM organizers are good for that.

VST2 side-chaining has quite literally worked just fine in almost every host except Steinberg's even before VST3 was released. There were tons of VST2 plugins offering side-chains long before VST3 was released. I've done it myself too. All you have to do is have two inputs (well, 2x2 for stereo obviously; you might want to implement the getInputProperties or whatever it is to let the host properly know that you have two stereo pairs, but even that might not be necessary in some hosts) and it works fine, the only thing missing is a simple flag in input properties to indicate that the host should offer this as a side-chain input in the GUI (so you wouldn't have to route manually).
AU also has a "pluginterfaces"-like C ABI sitting underneath the rat's nest of "helper" C++ classes. Apple would really prefer you didn't develop against that ABI, but it works well, and, as always, the code ends up being simpler in the end anyway.
Oh yeah.. at least with AUv2 the C-ABI is actually kinda easier to use than the C++ stuff, which is frankly rather weird.
Considering over 90% of plugins these days use JUCE, just take https://github.com/DISTRHO/JUCE and you can build LV2 plugins. Done.
