I'm not a core developer, but if you are interested in my opinion, I
am not really impressed by it...
I downloaded the zip to have a look at what was there and I the main
differences I found (other than the ones previously listed) were in:
1. the (zip only) package bundle jpgraph and the mantis manual
2. a lot of modififed / added icons
3. main config file

Summing up, I thinks that the "fork" is more a "custom" version of
mantis, released back to the public, than a real ongoing project. I
also doubt those files are somehow versioned at all...

Agreed, even with the clarification on his home page.
