Glad to hear it! I actually think our git (and similar VCs) workflow
could be a lot better, but it's always nice to get good feedback.

The idea of 'porting' to Mac doesn't really make sense. It's already
cross-platform... it's just that getting all of the platform bits in
the right places is hard. It's very unlikely that there would ever be
a native cocoa UI or anything like that, though better
theming/integration is definitely a possibility.

No team at the moment. It's pretty much just me plus occasional (very
much appreciated) contributions.
