What is the status of this ITP?
It's active. We have it packaged, but there was some discussion about the upstream source package, since there is no proper upstream source package that provides the whole lot. We were considering splitting it into two upstream packages, one that is the real upstream source for the binaries and one that contains the component libraries, samples, etc. extracted from the upstream binary distribution.
Kicad is not that hard to package and it seems a bunch of people want it. I can have it uploaded in a week if it still stay that way.
This last couple of weeks I just haven't had the time to get it finished off, and perhaps another opinion on the upstream packaging would be useful. Maybe you want to join in the effort? At the moment we have something basically ready based on a single contructed upstream source. Daniel has setup a subversion server and development mailing list for it, he'd be the man to ask for access if you want to contribute.
