Consider using the Bonobo UI merge utility. you can then merge your
components menus with the shell.

GNOME::Development:EditorGutter is the interface used by anjuta
(exported by gdl) for Markers. There is no support for folds yet in this
interface, but may come into existence if adequate components are
available with folds capabilities (currently, only scintilla seems to
have).

I also think this is handled independently by the component. Anjuta2 or
any other application do not actually need to interact for folds or
indentations.
