Yes, I have found a more recent source code in a CVS repository on Savannah. 
Apparently, the situation is better than described on the web site I linked to.

Unfortunately I'm still just learning how Core Data works and how to properly 
use it, so I cannot be of any help here.

NSManagedObjectContext in GNUstep GUI did not look to me as if it's related at 
all to Core Data. Citing description from the file itself:

   <abstract>
   This class is the context object for the controller classes.
   It contains information which is used by those classes to maintain
   the internal state.
   </abstract>

Sounds like it had something to do with an implementation of Cocoa Bindings? 
Perhaps with interaction between Cocoa Bindings and Core Data?  It is 
apparently used only in NSObjectController.
