As far as I know, the Jersey 2.5 release is in this week. I guess the core people are busy with it. As of my experience, any ticket I opened in Jira and any pull request I put on GitHub was processed quite quickly compared to other projects.
Best, Rafael

Subject: [Jersey] Re: What is happen with JAX RS spec?
I feel your pain. Somewhere between Marc Hadley and Paul Sandoz leaving this project, both the JAX-RS and Jersey 2.0 communities have become quite dysfunctional. About the only response you'll get on this list is "No. We're not dead!" and even then it'll only show up a few days after your post. Contrast this to projects like HK2 where I get an answer within 15 minutes of posting a question, and bugs that I report get fixed within the next release cycle. There are many other projects that are amazing this way. Jersey 1.0 used to be such a project.
And we're not the only ones who noticed that something is broken. See

There seems to be a strong consensus that Jersey 2.0 is missing critical features from 1.0 and yet they are not receiving top priority. I'd love to see some genuine action to close these gaps. I tried digging into the code myself, in the hopes of producing pull requests, but some of these problems are design-level which make them difficult to fix as an outsider.
