Hi; Yes, there hasn't been a release in a long time. At the time, Steffen and I asked to get things moving forward it was only Jeff Trawick who, from time to time, helped out with getting commits into mod_fcgid. There are some important fixes in the not-yet-released 2.3.10 version. [1] That is why for Windows ApacheLounge shipps that version. ApacheHaus did the same until Gregg Smith was gone. There are some open bugs on Bugzilla waiting to be tackled. [2]
The hope is that once it is in the httpd repo it gets more attention.
