This is unfortunate..
From time to time we discuss in this list about the status of Mutopia 
and what it needs to make the things work better.
AFAIK, main problem is the administrative infrastructure. I've found a 
discussion on mutopia-discuss (private mailing list) about the need of a 
bug tracking system.  github bug tracking doesn't offer all the features 
needed and Valentine tried to explore Redmine.. I don't know what he 
achieved.

Also, how does the review process work? Who is responsible for that?
Maybe opening the review to all the people subscribed to mutopia-discuss 
will help to reduce the work load on few persons?

Another option: as many users have an account on github, they could fork 
the mutopia repository and send a pull request when they have a new 
score to submit.  This way the contribution would be public and visible 
and anyone could comment on it.
