As far as I can see is the wiki online and mostly stuff seems to be imported. 
Thanks to Chris January ?

The recent way to get lyx running seems to me very straightforward, because it 
is overseeable. If mostly bugs are fixed the remaining bugs will be harder to 
find and to fix. 

The main reason I think is that everyone is waiting for qt 4. 
If people supporting a qt3 app will see that the required porting efforts 
requires about 30% efforts as ealier stated, they probably will think about 
if qt4 is really needed and they may come to qt3 win for a windows port.
