In Introducing d3-scaleThanks...I didn't know that (though I had been paying attention to bug fixes)...but my point exactly, he's prodigious, so maybe "maintenance mode" to him is "major features every 3 months instead of 2) :).
Also worth pointing out, he's actively working on a new book for ggplot2, which, AFAICT, he's providing for free (you just have to run the build tools)
