If the number of active devs is the reason for stagnation, then a
plan to foster future developer generations should be a priority.
Any activity in that direction?

IMHO, positive feedback is the one, most influetial aspect. After all, 
contributers don't do it for any material profit. Getting patches 
into geda projects as a user prooved to be a steep uphill battle in 
the past. Patches were rotting in the BTS until they did not apply 
gracefully anymore. Has this changed significantly?

Regardings the GUI: Are there were clearly formulated goals somewhere 
on the webpage? Goal, that need not be discussesd if someone comes 
up with a patch. If there, is it properly linked to? I for one would 
not invest days or weeks of spare time if I have reason to believe 
that the devs are happy with the current state of the GUI.
