Glad to know that!

Thanks and more is coming ;)

Good question!
The thing is that most of the developers are located at the same place.
Most of the discussions are taking place in real life. Once we are happy
about a subject, we publish a SEP. They all are open for discussions. 
We are also open to discussions on this mailing list.
A lot of discussions are also happening in the bug reports.

There is also a git mailing list which is used to announce freezes to
people who have a write access into the source code (it is a low traffic
mailing list).

What you would be interested to contribute in ?

Thanks for your interest!
