Short version,MartinK is not actively working on harmattan as it lacks some old stuff (gtk as opposed to only qt) so can't use the N900 code and lacks new stuff (qt5, qml 2) so can't use the sailfish code. Since this makes the N9 neither fish nor fowl, Martin isn't actively working on it. Three options were given, rip out the software guts of the N9 and replace them with something newer, rip out te software guts and replace them with something older or rewrite modrana mostly from scratch to use what the N9 has. Martin stated he doesn't particularly care which option is taken, as long as he doesn't have to do the heavy lifting of replacing qt with a newer version or adding gtk. He has also stated he will not rewrite modrana to use qt4 although he will gladly welcome patches from someone who does so.
