I'm however curious to know if anyone is actually working *on* the API itself?
...
In short - Is there now an "API team" in existence?
Me and Stillman are actually working on the API itself. Being a DB Developer puts me in a position where I'm also quite useful at troubleshooting performance bottlenecks in the database and that's why I've been working with Ops on improving overall performance. I'm still a developer! 
I wouldn't go as far as to say there was a dedicated team for the API at the moment as that might imply an entire SCRUM team working on it. I am however completely dedicated to the API for the time being. During this time a lot of other people have been dragged into the project. I still wouldn't go as far as to call it a *team* but there are resources available to us that I didn't know where to find earlier. Stuff is generally looking a whole lot better, you'll see.
There will be a couple of other Dev Blogs concerning the API before the next point release.

I actually have a meeting at the start of next week regarding the state of the API documentation.
Will make a note of bringing this up.

For reference, I'm the QA person on the API. So I deal with all bug-reports that get submitted through the bug-hunters, test all new stuff and regression testing on refactoring that goes on.
And I can only second PrismX's sentiment :)
Just so no one misunderstand the situation here.
Without dedicated QA that fully understands the customer side usage of the API: Nothing much would be happening for the API. If something would be happening it would be breakage of currently functional code.
QA is the best worst enemy a developer can have.
