Development hasn't stopped outright. It is more like on hiatus until

The general consensus is that any improvements will be mostly focused on
the ui at this point so until someone who has gtk2 skills and the
time/motivation to work on it steps up there is nothing that *needs* to be
done to improve the user experience.
Although Fons has raised an issue with the compressor algorithm there
seems to be no one who is able to make it better who also has the interest
in doing so.
Although given that Steve Harris has pretty much dropped out of Linux
development, Jack O'Quin and Jan Depner are also very busy and I don't
have much inclination to get stuck into it either there is probably not
going to be much direct development from any of the core team in the near
future.
The list is still monitored and anyone who wants to improve it is welcome
to submit patches. They have always been accepted and applied to trunk
pretty quickly in the past.

has development stopped because the devs just found other things they

Just out of interest, when did this become a fact?
IIRC Fons suggested the sc4 compressor algorithm was similar to a
vocoder.
Apart from the multiband parametric, limiter and overall ui development
that are also part of the jamin experience, I have never heard anything
coming out of jamin that sounds remotely like a vocoder.
I have also not heard of any other jack application that attempts to
provide a complete mastering tool chain.
So, I'm not sure why jamin is now to be considered passe.
Of course if someone else actually wrote something that was comparable
in
functionality then I would be more than interested to hear the results.
But until that time jamin still stands as the only tool in it's class
that
I know of.
I guess they're used to eye candy over there
in closed software land.
Hell, I liked Jamin too until Fons hipped me to the fact that it's a
vocoder.
