You can subscribe at the very hard to find mailman subscription page:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-commoncpp

This should really be linked to from at least one of the homepages.  :(

Probably historical reasons.  For most intents and purposes that is all

I believe ost::ThreadFile is about as close as it gets.  There's
probably no reason you can't use MySQL++ or whatever in your commonc++
projects.
