mature means for me that the package is somewhat ready for use by "end users".
That means that it works mostly stable, does what its expected to do and
does not make a half-baked impression on the user (we have such software
in the archive and I dislike it, so I won't help with getting such
software in)

Ah, I see. Does that mean that the software already has some development
history behind it? I'm just asking out of curiousity, I didn't yet test the
software.

My use of "work in progress" was about the homepage, which does not yet
contain any useful information. As I did not test the software yet, this
and the low version number is my only impression of the development. It
makes the impression that the development just started and that it might
be to early to be included into a distribution. If that impression is
wrong; good. Thats why I asked you.
