NM is actually more of a freedesktop.org project, but we just happen to use a lot of the GNOME infrastructure because it's a pain to change everything over (especially bugzilla!). But anyway, the GNOME desktop will continue to use and develop the GNOME Shell network indicator and control center network panel, because they are a much better fit for the UI and interaction design of the GNOME Shell. However, we (the NetworkManager project) intend to continue to maintain nm-applet and nm-connection-editor as standalone components that other GTK-based desktops like LXDE and XFCE can use. While nm-applet is clearly receiving less attention than it has in the past, it's not going to die. If anyone is interested in helping maintain the applet, or implement new features, or make it look slicker, please start sending patches and cleanups!
