Did you find someone willing to work on support for it? Other wise the 
status will have not changed .... The point being, development around 
here is not done like a service centre where you submit an order ticket 
and then come back a little while later to see if its been filled. So 
you're going to have to be proactive, and try to secure help with the 
matter (and there are no guarantees that you will find such) if you are, 
yourself, unable to directly provide/contribute to the development of 
support for the device.

Incidental to your device:
- Mauro is continuing with efforts to further support for devices using 
XC3028 ... so you should heed attention to those developments
- further to our earlier discussion about the MerlinC.rom, mkrufky 
informed me recently that it is actually for the CX23887 ... the CX23887 
apparently has a CX2584x spliced/built into it, and the CX2584x requires 
a firmware.
- in regards to the encoder portion, see stoth's comment here:

Sorry for being confused, I just thought that cards were put on a todo list.  Ill update the wiki with the info on the merlinC.rom file. I got the remote from gateway free of charge, which is cool, but now I cant open it to  get photos of it up on the wiki and since I ditched vista for M$ faster better supported OS windows xp pro I got no use for the remote, so its a ice looking paperweight. As far as contributing the only thing safe for me to do is testing, I looked at the cx23885 source code and figured I do a little copy paste rename to get it to stop saying its an unknown card and winced, my luck even though im in Linux I figured if I messed with the code long enough id end up with a windows blue screen of death. at least that's what happened when I tried to write a cpuid program in windows. sorry for getting of topic. thankx for your help.

PS 
something with gateway written on it and a windows logo being a paperweight isn’t to suprising.

All in all, I think the best course of action would be to set this aside 
for a couple of months and then comeback and revisit it -- I say this 
because, hopefully by then, issues with the xceive IC will have been 
hammered out, and work on the other parts (the Conexant bridge and 
encoder) might be more robust/mature ... at which point, it would be a 
lot easier stringing together support for the card, and certainly for 
end user testing purposes.
