Steve,
That's where the problem lies. It doesn't matter if we design an 
elaborated release plan, which in fact we have[1] (and I think it's 
excessively complex). The core developers aren't active as they once 
were(I know you guys have a life to take care), but our biggest problem 
is that we are unable to get new people involved and working effectively.

As I've already state, in my perspective, the lack of regular releases 
is the major cause for the project stagnation. It's a cycle: no new 
releases -> unmotivated people-> fewer people working -> less 
features/fixes to release.
