Don't know.  

I have been hoping that the performance issues with Transparent Huge
Pages (THP) will be addressed in the near future thus there is no need
for libhugetlbfs (the performance gains for THP are more appreciable
running under a VM rather than on the hardware).

The development of libhugetlbfs has been pretty quiet lately,
so it may be others feel the same way.

If that is the case then there isn't much of concern about merging
changes into the upstream library that may soon become obsolete.
