Well, there are a few features which could very easily be ported from QTM to Qtxpost - things like my auto link feature (meaning, you can set it so that when you highlight a particular phrase and select "Auto link" from the menu, or use its shortcut, it will always link a particular site). I have some dialogs for inserting image links and a rich text preview function.
I could certainly help packaging the app for Ubuntu - you need to create a Debian package then a package archive on Launchpad. There's also the OpenSUSE build service which I use to build packages for SUSE, Fedora and Mandriva. I use CMake for building QTM, but I guess I'd have to re-learn qmake for building packages of this app.
Not sure if it's any use adding support for other platforms. LJ has features Wordpress doesn't; it's a social blogging platform while WP just hosts lots of blogs. Although they're both XML-RPC, they use totally different methods and WP uses far fewer methods, even with the new WP API. If we could achieve feature parity between QTM and QTXpost, there would be no need for one app to support both. Most people use one or the other, after all.
