Hmm well, I've seen Zdoom around for quite some time, I noticed that it seemed like the developers were slowing down about like 3 years ago so I kind of guessed it'd come to this, I am not entirely sure if it is sad or a good thing after all I do consider Zandronum my home port as I started out using Skulltag, GZDoom is pretty amazing though as for QZDoom? Never heard of it.

Does anybody know how this will affect the development of Zandronum?

It will have no direct effect on Zandronum's development. Zandronum was always branching off GZDoom (Skulltag originally branched off ZDoom with ZDoomGL's renderer added, but I took that out and rebased Skulltag on GZDoom a long time ago).
