Can you say why it is effectively dead? I see a recent-ish release: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/news/2016-12-18-releases.html http://www.gnu.org/software/

  Without knowing much, GNU Hurd has been in development for ages, yet is pretty far behind everything else out there in terms of usability. I think it is still active (remember a recent HN post), but it's progress is seen as being slow.

  It has about 0 developers on any given time, with the occassional work being done. There's been no real (fundamental) progress on it for over a decade. The issues in the hurd critique paper haven't been addressed. The L4 port failed.
