We're certainly looking at proposals, and we ought to be replying to
everyone who submits. However there's a fairly significant volume of traffic
right now, so I guess a few might have slipped through the cracks.

I'd wait and see if your second attempt gets replied to (give them a little
while - I know it's frustrating, but things are definitely happening) and if
for whatever reason you don't hear anything this time drop me a private
email and I'll ask around. I don't work on PSP btw - so that's not a general
invite to spam me for information or requests!

I can't/won't comment on any aspects of PSP development I'm afraid. PSP is
probably going to be one of those things that people are reluctant to talk
about on the mailing list, as it's still all tied up under NDA. Sorry.
