Why do you want to do this?

The normal Emacs way goes like this:

You write a major mode for editing the buffer list.  You write the
command to display the buffer list in such a way that it invokes the
major mode.  The major mode binds a specific key (q, say) to a special
quit command which does whatever you wanted to do after the user
invoked quit-window.

My question was intended to find out why the normal Emacs approach
wouldn't work for you, to be able to make better suggestions.
