This is the third time this fork has shown up on HackerNews in as many days, and all I've seen from this new group is bikeshedding and drama.
They are more focused on picking a name, logo and who is in charge than they are on pushing releases. By comparison, Sneedcity is already making changes and pushing releases out.
IMO this is a group that is more interested in "owning" a popular open-source project than they are maintaining an open-source project. Someone saw the Audacity drama as an opportunity to pad their resume by "running" an open-source project.
As ESR pointed out forks live and die by the legitimacy of the broader community, and so far I haven't seen anything from these team that suggests they are legitimate.
