I, for one, would like to see it more closely integrated with Struts. This would be beneficial on two fronts. For one, the mock servlet environment included in STC can be used to great effect to test the smaller units of Struts, and the larger STC framework can be used to test more complete web applications, a boon to Struts users.
As well, I will soon reach a point where I cannot spend very much time on STC, so the project would definitely benefit from a larger developer base. The outstanding issues with STC, as documented in the bug tracker, can easily be resolved with the upcoming struts-chain code base, or possibly the ComposableRequestProcessor (nb: I have not checked this out extensively).
If you check out the SourceForge site, you'll find an active user community, and if you look at the site stats, you'll see that it the downloads number in the tens of thousands. Finally, STC has been documented to varying degrees in a half dozen Struts books. StrutsTestCase really is the de facto unit test framework for Struts, and so it makes sense to see how we can pull it into Struts proper.
I look forward to your thoughts.
thanks. -d.

I was the first developer that Deryl added, which was a little over a year ago, I think. Soon after that, I became distracted with other matters. But when I was using Struts TestCase, I found it very helpful. Using JUnit against the business layer and WebTest against the view layer also works, but TestCase actually probes the Struts Configuration, which is not something you will get from any other tool.
The CVS is online at SourceForge, so you can poke around and see who's been authoring recently. You could also run the Maven changelog against the CVS to generate statistics. [Or just ask Deryl :)]
Likewise, the Issue Trackers and User Forums, are all online where they can be reviewed.
On the tracker, I see that nearly all the tickets have been resolved. Some are rather old, but that usually means no one has found a resolution yet. (Much like ours.)
In the forums, I note that there is a lot of user-to-user communication, which is the best telltale of all.
