Perhaps. It's most certainly out of the scope of Galeon, however.

Starting with talking about it on relevant lists is probably a good
thing to do. Such lists might in this case include
http://lists.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-kde-list/ and
http://lists.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gconf-list/ (taken directly from
the mailing lists and descriptions on
http://lists.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/).

Probably not on this particular mailing list, since this mailing list is
for the development of a web browser.
