I'm an interested observer of the project, not using or contributing to it.

Marcan, Lina, and Alyssa have left the project. Afaik Alyssa is working for
a GPU vendor now.

Sven Peter has stepped up as maintainer and is regularly upstreaming to the
Linux kernel; current focus is on the USB drivers. He'll give a talk this
month at 39c3.
Afaik Janne Grunau is now maintaining the graphics stack, but I don't know
how they split their work and if there are other maintainers.
They also started porting some of the critical parts of the m1n1 bootloader
to Rust.

The project is regularly posting status updates:

Kind regards
