Hi Torbjörn,

Firstly, a disclaimer, I am neither a contributor to Libre.fm or even 
that familiar with the specific development practices of the project. So 
everything that follows is just my own personal advice / thoughts.

Looking over the project repository, it certainly seems to be 
maintained, with the last commit from Matt Lee being around 17 days ago. 
I've seen Matt across Reddit and a handful of other places advocating 
the project, so I'm inclined to say, yes, development is still active 
and alive. :)

    https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-fm

I tried looking for contributing guidelines on the repository, but 
ultimately, it came up pretty dry for me. More often than not, though, I 
see people who wonder if they have the skills to contribute, usually do. 
:) I would say your best bet is to follow all existing styling / 
formatting in the project thus far, work on your improvements, and 
submit them as pull requests after you've tested them.

As a user and supporter of GNU FM / LibreFM, I hope to see your 
contributions and improvements get into the project soon. Hopefully 
there will be some others who might be able to chime in too with some 
more advice, from those working in the project.
