Gimp 2.6.0 is new & fresh and the first bugfix release will arrive us soon. As Sven Neumann the maintainer wrote:...probably on Wednesday
...couple of bug-fixes
...GIMP 2.7 and we can start to add new stuff
...define some goals for GIMP 2.8. A few items are...
- merge the successful GSoC projects
- attempt a port of the projection code (and perhaps more) to GEGL
- change tools to draw using the Cairo library
It seems we have a lively development
That renembers me on going further with my webtools for Gimp.

I have the opposite impression - Gimp develepment seem to be stalled for some time - it has been like 2 years since UI redesign was announced, but still "bug number 1" is barely touched. Also watching mailing list and svn commits logs I noticed that there are few people working on Gimp. Excluding GSOC projects, aren't 2-3 guys doing most of the development currently?

i think the first time it was necessary to create a new vision and focus things in development. Take a look at the history and you will see older version had a much longer way home but now it took just a year!
But you are right GIMP need more and new developers to go on.
