Ugh. There seems to be no public repository, and the only source to be
found is from release-versioned tarballs, so there's apparently no
collaboration other than some forums for reporting bugs and requesting
features. All the work is done by one developer in his spare time, and
he is currently on hiatus since April. Meanwhile the most recent
release is February, so it's not like somebody could just pick it up
and start hacking and expect to merge.

That's only open-source under the most literal of definitions.
