They have something else, gschemrc/gedarc/whatever scheme scripts (and the lepton variants) which are almost project files, but not quite, plus you need a whole guile to read them. We can't use those because we don't have guile. In theory they could implement real project files, for example project.lht. Project.lht is designed in a modular way that it allows any software, 3rd party, different EDA suites too, without interfering with other random software or Ringdove. I did contact the geda project about this when I designed project files initially but the refused to consider. That was the moment when I finally realized geda is hopeless. So project.lht was never intended to work with gsch2pcb-rnd or import sch from geda, and most probably will never work, because of lack of cooperation/support from geda. In theory you could file a feature request for this in gschem or lepton, but I doubt they would change their mind. However, it all works fine from sch-rnd. You can make your netlist export using the project file, you can open the project file (and it opens all sheets), you can tell pcb-rnd import sch to import the project file. (Which pcb-rnd will pass on to sch-rnd -x so the best part is that pcb-rnd doesn't even need to know how to extract the list of sch file names!)
