It doesn't see a whole lot of active commits because unlike with Busybox, it's a crunch setup much like rescue -- there's not a whole lot to bsdbox specifically other than adding another PROG from base to build in. There are some programs that would be nice to have, but they just haven't been added yet for one reason or the other- most likely being that they just don't get used much in the limited environments that it's currently used in.
