All of that would be useful to know.

A list does not magically make a community appear. I'd suggest
either discuss@ or libreoff...@lists.freedesktop.org to attempt to
coagulate interested parties - libreoffice@fdo has the advantage
that Cc-ing unsubscribed parties permits them to answer to the list
w/o moderation. Feel free to Cc (or Bcc) the folks you'd think might
be interested, by proposing some specific things to do (like the
developer docs you mentioned).

Once there's people working on stuff, and still want a separate
list, feel encouraged to come back with a proposal here.

Cheers,

Hi :)
Done that.  Been there.  It didn't work.  Base is dying. Can we just admit that 
and remove it from LO?
Regards from
Tom :)
