There have been two snapshots created by Alfred, but no official
release.

Besically, nobody cared. There is Debian GNU/Hurd, and there is a lot of
GNU software, but nobody was interested in creating official releases of
the GNU system as a whole.
Then Alfred came along, initiating a new GNU packaging effort a few
years ago -- resulting in this mailing list, a build system, and some
snapshots of GNU using this build system.
