I don't think this particular one is going to get resolved without feature sponsorship, as it's a fairly specific one. But much more generally the gallery slideshows are getting a big upgrade in v8. There's a lot of thumbnail control that can currently be done in templates in v7 already to get exactly the kind of image constraints you need, although it's a pretty technical task. The idea of embedding on an external site could also be done, with some tricks. You could create a page and call it up with &keep_wide_high=1 in the URL, to force panels to not show, then get them to embed in an iframe. Not all easy, but possible for someone very technical to manage.
