Like Danny said, the biggest slowdown is from the lack of time of the volunteers. There have been more significant conversations about the challenges of virtual domains (search the archives for 'virtual domains' in james-dev and james-user and you'll see about 60 messages spread across the past 1.5 years).
It is a top priority, but it's not a simple change, and the patches in the fall were not very elegant (in my opinion)... they avoided making some more fundamental changes that are really necessary to support virtual domains. They're fine patches if you need that in the short term, so maybe we should include it as an optional download or unsupported patch. I still have the emails in my inbox to hopefully get to at some point. Incidentally, I'm supporting 5 domains on my James server so I definitely would like a better way to approach it than have to do my manually remember to add ".domain" to each user name and give users the appropriate instructions. If you've got the time to start a new project, I'd encourage you to try to channel that energy towards the James project. I think there's a lot of good code here and the cooperation will benefit everyone.
