If you intend to propose your app for 2.32 (aka 3.0), note that the
proposal period has not yet opened, but you can get a head start by
trying to follow the GNOME release schedule, and potentially migrating
your code and bug tracking from launchpad to gnome.org.
Infrastructure things like this help to reduce some of the hurdles in
module proposals.

Planning your next stable release to synchronize with GNOME 2.28 is
definitely a good idea, along with getting some development releases
out during the 2.27.x cycle.

Yup, that's usually how it works.  More people become interested in
joining the discussion when there's a specific module proposal.
