That said, we're not opposed to new developers working on Growl. In fact, if you're skilled or looking to cut your teeth on an established codebase we'd like to hear from you on the growl development list. We're pretty solidly along on the tasks for getting Growl into the MAS, but after we submit we've got a laundry list of modernization, code reduction and a complete UI overhaul on the configuration side of things planned. By putting Growl in the MacAppStore and reducing the dearth of crufty (there are still 10.3 references) legacy code the app as a whole will be much easier to maintain, work on, and allow us to add a whole bunch of really useful user facing features to Growl.
