Tomas,

I think the low volume simply reflects the lower use of MASON compared with some other tools, e.g. Repast.
The response from the main developer Sean is usually pretty quick (there are some of us in the MASON community who wonder when Sean actually sleeps), and very helpful. I plan on contributing a bit more myself to the discussion---have just been given a big new project and hope that MASON will be used as part of it.
MASON is certainly very well architected.

Regards,
