I agree. Further refactoring can be done after the release, since it really 
won't affect the way cclib is used and is aimed at making developing easier 
in the future. If there is time, though, I would be happy to see this go a 
bit further.

I have code ready for a few types of electrostatic multipole analyses 
(including Stone's DMA), but I might not want to include this in cclib before 
the release.

I think the end of September is a good target, since the beginning of the 
academic year will mean less time for most of us.
