In all honesty and with respect to this project and it's contributors. This mailinglist doesn't seem the right place to develop *another* password manager. I do see reasons to announce/mention/compare other projects since that would be relevant to some extent. But as I see it that's fulfilled now and if people are still interested in this project you are free to create a communication channel for this project for which there are a lot of alternatives (since you're on github I can recommend the github issue tracker and PR system). Please do announce this so people can follow if they want to.
I'm not maintaining this mailing list and I am in no position to tell anyone what to post or what not. I am just a user who cares about the discussion on this list and this doesn't seem like the right place to me. I hope I'm not offending anyone as that is not my intention at all. Also, if the majority(?) disagrees please disregard my comment and continue.
