GnuCash is modular, but not plugable. Learn the modules and send in a patch.

Depends what direction the extension is to follow!
Is it engine, import, reporting, business, query, storage, GUI, preferences, 
export, user data, register, graphing, stock, prices, scheduling, gnome2, 
QOF, DWI, Address, BillTerm, Customer, Employee, Entry, Invoice, Job, Owner, 
TaxTable, Vendor, Account, Cap Gains, Commodities, Lots: Core Function for 
AR/AP, Inventory, Stock Lots, Price Database, Account Heirarchy Tree, 
Accounting Periods, Accounting Policy (FIFO/LIFO), 
Scheduled/Periodic/Recurring Transactions, Data Validation, Financial 
Transactions, Transaction Logging, Quickfill Account Names, or Ledger? 

Each module has it's own API.

Generating the reports, amongst other things.
"Various bits and pieces that help glue together the various components are 
written in Scheme"
