Certainly the impression I have got is that everyone has their own
collections of patches and there isn't really anything happening
"upstream". It's on sourceforge so I guess it should be easy enough
for the maintainers to open up write access to others. I'll send in my
patches and see if they are interested in opening up write access to
others.
