It needs people to take over from the one person who has done most of the
work for the past decade.  You can see the recent history at the list archive
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.mutopia.discuss
where Chris Sawer describes the situation.

Finding new volunteers always takes a lot of time.  There is a backlog of
submissions, but I imagine that having some very nice new scores in the backlog
(with the sources and their relevant dates and laid out for easy checking of
public domain status) would encourage any tentative volunteers who have
contacted Chris to learn what is involved.

A recent stable LilyPond version would also help.  I converted the scores I
was working on from 2.12 to 2.13, to avoid difficulties with \partcombine,
but then 2.13 kept changing so I've abandoned the 2.13 versions and now have
pretty much quit using LilyPond.  (I should just go back to the 2.12 versions.)
