Mystic BBS Theme related question

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the Mystic developers or where they hang out?
I'd like to offer a couple recommendations for some themes that I am either going to develop, or have developed, however I think these would make sense
for everyone involved with Mystic.
I tried several different BBS software packages before deciding to chose
Mystic as what I would be running long term. The main audience for my BBS users are going to be Vintage computer users connecting in with Teletype machines, Dumb Terminals and related slow speed vintage equipment, as well as Ham radio connectivity over 1200 baud packet radio.
My specific use case is the ability to have several ASCII only options available to these low speed users, one such theme that will be "text" only, removing all the ACSII graphics and only displaying minimum information, especially if they are using a thermal teletype machine that is printing each character on thermal paper, and well as teletypes machines that are using normal paper options.
I actually chose the Mystic option as I saw the developer is a Ham Radio Operator, so I know he has already brainstormed these types of "dumb
terminal" ASCII only interfaces.
I'd greatly appreciate if someone could forward this along to the Mystic developers handling future theme development, and I would be happy to pay a small donation to have these themes created in the next Mystic release.
