QOF is external, please tell me if you plan changes within

Would you consider joining the QOF-devel mailing list (v.v.v.low volume) ?
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qof-devel

I discuss all QOF related stuff there, particularly when a release is close. 
It also includes discussions on all other non-gnucash QOF applications and 
their release schedules.

I don't have commit logs sent to a mailing list for QOF (yet), principally 
because it is only me. I think SF can do that if anyone is interested. I 
would welcome any gnucash developers to join me in QOF development but I 
don't expect many to have the time. So I'd rather keep discussion here - just 
have a little more in relation to changes in libqof.

i.e. QOF is more than a fundamental part of gnucash, it has another life and 
it would be nice if gnucash developers could at least bear this in mind.
