You might want to read about the Replicant project's roadmap for the
future:
http://blog.replicant.us/2014/09/replicant-homepage-and-roadmap-for-the-future/

I decided not to keep dedicating valuable time ressources on mainstream
devices that are fundamentally flawed (non-free bootloaders) while
better devices exist out there. I am now focusing on those better
devices, but it takes a lot of time and I don't have much available.

You may also want to read the slides of my FOSDEM conference:

The reason why things are not moving forward very fast is that I have
less time than I used too and I'm the only developer working on
Replicant. Our financial situation is not a problem at this point.

You're welcome to get involved on the technical side. While I decided to
not port Replicant to any new flawed mainstream device in the near
future, it doesn't mean you cannot focus on that if you want to!
