For the UI, I'm not sure who the best person is, but you could start by talking with beltzner or mconnor or Gavin Sharp. For backend stuff like making donwloads resumable across sessions, I'd start with Christian Biesinger, since he has made useful comments on the bug about resumable downloads. Btw, it's not that hard to find my contact information. Depends on what aspect of download manager you’re hoping to improve.
