Not sure if this is the right list to send this to, but anyway: Around a month ago I uploaded a patch to GNOME bugzilla to merge the keyboard shortcuts capplet (gnome-keybinding-properties) into the keyboard capplet (gnome-keyboard-properties) [1]. This was discussed on the gnomecc-list [2], but there was fairly limited interest from the gnome-control-center developers.
I'm wondering if there is any interest in adopting this patch in Ubuntu. Clearly there is a lot of work left to be done on the patch, but I'd prefer not to spend working time on it if there isn't any interest. In particular I'm looking for developer interest, i.e. from whoever would be in a position to eventually commit this to Ubuntu. I believe that with some work this patch can be redone in a way that will minimise the size of the patch (and therefore not cause horrible breakage if/when there are upstream changes). Note that reducing the number of items in System->Preferences is the 4th highest idea on Ubuntu brainstorm [3], and there are numerous related Launchpad bugs / wiki pages / blog posts / etc. [4][5], probably more if you dig deep enough...
