A bit of one.  Things are pretty quiet (since pyflakes does pretty 
much everything it set out to do, and all the bugs seem to have been 
fixed (holy crap I'm going to regret saying that)), but if you mail
divmod-dev at divmod.org with questions/comments/patches, or open a 
ticket in the tracker for a fix or enhancement, someone will 
definitely pay attention.
