What do you mean by 'status'?  It works for me.  I've tweaked the
markup to suit my tastes, and have added some additional chord
structures, enough to regard it as a very functional and useful
framework.

If you mean the markup, first find your jazz-chords.ily file and
make a backup.  Then find the line inside 'jazzChordsMusic' that
reads:

       <c e gis bes>-\markup\jcRaise{ "+7" }

Change that to:

%       <c e gis bes>-\markup\jcRaise{ "+7" }
       <c e gis bes>-\markup\jcRaise{ "7(" \jcSharp "5)" }

Save your jazz-chords.ily file.

Now test:

\version "2.15.38"

\include "jazz-chords.ily"

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames
      \chordmode { a1:7.5+ }
    \new Staff {
      \key d \minor
      \numericTimeSignature
      \time 4/4
      r1
    }
  >>
} % score
