Not much from packaging prospective. Upstream however show some signs of
improvement as they've started using GitHub:

I'm still busy so I can't make any promises regarding sponsorship.
However I am probably the best person to review packaging... As far as I'm
aware they've never attempted to improve packaging so I doubt they can
maintain it properly...
Last time I checked upstream packaging was too sloppy for upload.
I still have some concerns regarding inferior licensing [1] and I believe
that MooseFS is redundant when we already have LizardFS.
I'm not against having alternative storage system which may have benefits
like availability of different MySQL/MariaDB flavours...
