There's some work being done using Composer with the new D8 core using Symfony. Some of that work has backported to D7, but is largely hidden/undocumented. If you have contacts in the core team, I'd suggest you contact one of them directly and inquire.
Having said that, I suppose the best course at this point is to wait for D8 to emerge into open beta before seriously considering what will be needed to update/upgrade the module.
What you'll need to do is find out how much of Symphony is already in core and leverage that. I'm not sure of the details involved in incorporating Symphony from Drupal into your module. You might start here: Symfony
Also, the instructions may change, or may have changed already. I just don't know how Symfony integration is being handled in the 7.x branch, if it's being handled at all.
I ment this issue more as a reference for the future.
Would be awesome if we can use the most of Drupal 8 for this module. Found that D8 default support the Composer stuff. Haven't read much about it yet but when this module is developed for D8 we can definitely look into it.
