Is that because there is very little original development occurring in Libreboot (it's my understanding that it's basically Coreboot with some binary blobs removed but not actually replaced).

Libreboot and other projects with a similar relationship to upstream suffer from a paradox: It appears that no original development is happening there, because all of the original development is sent upstream. The work done by developers hired to work on Libreboot looks like work done on Coreboot, because Libreboot cooperates with Coreboot and sends their work upstream.
