I would simply think that there is no need for a "beta testing group" once a product is no longer in beta...

The fact that there is a stable version of Marvin does not detract from the usefulness of beta-testing new pre-releases.
Calibre Companion has a very active beta group -- and an alpha group too, for that matter -- despite being quite stable AFAIK.
But chaley is still heavily involved in the MobileRead subforum, and frequently fixes bugs and adds new features.
Hence the need for beta-testing those changes.

As I mentioned before, Kris had some personal issues to deal with. He is also working on other projects so I would not expect him to post in the Marvin forum... He does respond to emails - as I can attest from personal experience. He is still very interested in maintaining Marvin and has accepted bug reports from me.
The latest Change log for Marvin on the appstafarian website is August 8th, 2015.
So... your "facts" are simply your "perceptions".
Cheers!

Whatever the reasons, it does appear that Marvin is essentially in stasis.
No big changes, and few minor changes save basic maintenance.
So I think it would be fair to say that whatever Marvin is now, that's what you're getting.
