... they're pretty busy with the upcoming migration to FF31, and
completing the updater, I think.

Ouch.. that's far from being the case. As far as I can see, the TBL
and TBB dev team have little interaction, and the TBL is mostly
a third-party effort. It's good that it exists, but better
(cross-platform, integrated into the TBB, faster) solutions are in
the works.

Worth pinging them. They're overwhelmed with work. IRC can often help.

The most part of I've learnt about it was by reading the TBB team's
monthly report, and the one from the Pearl Crescent folks, on the
tor-reports mailing-list. That's where they report about their
progress and plans.

Also, I think the current state of this work is tracked there:
