The mailing list for this project is [1], please see how to contribute 
here [2].

The upgrade path would be bump the recipe version (in the recipe file 
name) and look for any package differences between the version. 
Theoretically, it's a simple task. However, you may find some changes 
during this tests.

And, instead of upgrading it to 14, you must make sure what is the 
latest release for Firefox before you work on this. I'm not sure 
meta-browser would accept 14 if there is a newer version.

Another way would be testing Chrome [3] instead. I remember someone from 
ML has already reported success for this package on VPU integration regards.
