I (the current maintainer) am working on it.

Matthew's right. The rate of development makes it awfully hard to plan
releases. IMO, FreeRADIUS needs a "stable" branch that is pushed towards
1.0, instead of the whole tree being in a perpetual alpha-state. That
means no EAP, no Python module, no $whiz_bang_untested_feature, and I'm not
sure anyone is willing to draw a line, as yet, and that makes my job
awfully hard.
Freeze, branch a stable tree, backport bugfixes, wait, release.
I'll release a CVS snapshot, likely. :(
