Guess not. You can probably just fork and start committing.

BTW I've pushed up the latest commits to the demo site (
http://mezzanine.jupo.org/admin/ user/pass: demo/demo), so you can login to
its admin and see the current state of the new menu plus other visual
tweaks - so if anyone who has a moment to try out their particular browser
(eg I've no idea how this renders in IE) and provide any feedback that'd be
great!
