Are there any plans for post-quantum algorithms implementation in the library?
No concrete plans, I'm afraid. Nettle is not close to the research frontier; a new algorithm is usually added when there's some consensus that it is are secure (after a few rounds of public cryptanalysis) and it starts to appear in standards. Most crypto algorithms have weaknesses when first proposed.
... If you (or anyone else on the list) are following research, I'd be happy to hear what algorithms or approaches you think are promising.
I believe Jack Lloyd is doing a good job with Botan. He's been following research and keeping an eye on NIST workshops to determine which algorithms that may be standardized.
