sure it would be nice, but it would also take a lot of time

a not-so-special mailing list: pw_users at pwscf.org, containing
(sparse) announcements about quantum-espresso:
    http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_users/
Mailing lists will move to a new server, by the way, so there
might be some "reshuffling" of mailing lists soon

The core of quantum-espresso doesn't change much and not often,
but v3.0 was released 3 years ago, so it is very likely that you
need to change something. It also depends a lot on how you wrote
your code and how tightly bound it is to the q-e code. Also note
that there is quite a lot of Wannier-related stuff in q-e now.

We hope to have soon in place a server where add-ons and
contributions to q-e are posted and developed. This should
solve problems like yours.
