Better yet, start some discussion on one of the existing lists,
since they already have active gimpers subscribed.
I'd recommend either gimp-users (probably the list you're already on)
or GUG (the gimp user group, http://gug.sunsite.dk/).

Both of these lists have unfortunately had some technical problems
recently (I believe the machine that hosts gimp.org had a disk crash
and the site is still in the process of being restored), which may
be part of their almost-nonexistant traffic.  But I bet if someone
started sharing techniques or asking questions, there are lots of
people who would start chiming in.  If you start, I'll help. :-)
