Some other folks potentially worth contacting:

* Jonathan Hosmer (creator of http://pythonforios.com/)
* Ole Zorn (creator of http://omz-software.com/pythonista/)
* Karl Traunmüller (creator of http://computableapp.com/)

If working on better iOS and Android upstream happens to help bring
those apps to Android as well, that would be a rather nice outcome :)

Cheers,
Nick.
