Maybe they meant they added 1000 commits to their repo? lol
But I agree anything new to do would be wonderful. An automated referee system would be wonderful (builtin pause, manual scoring etc). They said they were working on it a few months ago and then no word of it. A sourcetv-like replay system that records network traffic and can play it back would be wonderful for casting. Player-hosted servers would be nice, so we can have themed servers like flak-only or whatever.
Muse seems to think coop will be the salvation of goio but somehow I doubt it.. it will probably split the community, most of the casual crowd will play it exclusively because you dont need as many people and it's not as difficult to play.. Muse will have to keep splitting attention between two completely separate games.. with separate weapons and ships and maps and balance..
