there's development everyday on github i assure you

the "author"  (if you mean the OP), is not part of the LBRY team, he posted it as an interesting project, as he usually does with interesting projects, since their is no OFFICIAL BCT thread for LBRY (yet  )
any and all interested parties are welcome at the slack where they can find answers to any questions and even the whole team themselves online everyday talking about the project with whoever stops by.
