I've gone through the "duplicate" issues to this one and found the following:
At least to my understanding the issues 2570, 7720, 7645, 7731, 49120, 52843
and 66964 are really only about _inserting_ svg images into documents.
This issue is about creating an import filter, which means a svg->odg converter.

While in the long run this serves a similar purpose, the difference between
both has been discussed much already. I should just add that when using an
import filter which will convert svg to draw, any svg features that will
survive will be a subset of draws abilities. svg currently has a lot more nice-
looking features that draw doesn't need to duplicate, there's more important
stuff to do.

=> I'd like to ask anyone interested "only" in inserting svg graphics into
documents (presentation, drawing, text, whatever) to head over to issue 49991
and cast a vote. Thank you.

P.S.: Can someone please explain to an issue tracker newb how to make the issue
numbers clickable in comments?
