I saw him in #tango on irc some time ago, so I think he is interested. 
I've sent a mail with all the icons I've done this far for graphic apps. 
Hopefully I'll get an aswer soon.

The style-guidelines say that one don't have to use only the colors in 
the palette, as you can start from a color and change the value, hue and 
saturation. I think there are some #000-colors used in some of the icons 
in the set already, check out the video-x-generic icon in the gallery:

Yes, I think the tango-list is most appropiate for such stuff (don't be 
fooled by the name artists in it, much more than icons can be discussed, 
and you don't have to be a good artist to post ;) ). I just used this 
list to make sure I could get in touch of the developers of as many 
graphics apps as possible.
Feel free to pop by #tango on irc.freenode.org aswell if you feel like it.
