I wouldn't mind taking a stab at finishing the Qt bindings although like
I said before on this list my knowledge of Qt and even Linux programming
is still quite limited. The only thing I can bring to the table is years
of software engineering experience and the wish for finished Qt bindings.

The Qt stuff I can pick up myself but I _would_ like a more thorough
understanding of what you think the binding should look like, not
talking about implementation details ofcourse but rather the ideas
behind them. Is there a document already that talks about these kind of
(design) ideas or is this something that is still vague?

I see for example that the Mono bindings seem much more defined already
than the Qt bindings, does this mean I could take a look at its design
and try to implement something similar? Or is its design still not what
you had in mind?
