I think it's a good idea as well. Maybe I can contribute something useful to the panel, since Krita is one of the few libre graphics projects that doesn't really have a dearth of developers. I'm sometimes worried about the churn, and about the way my day job interferes these days, but getting new people doing cool stuff hasn't been a real problem for us since ~2003.
