By far the #1 committer and founding engineer of Swift for Tensorflow also recently left the project: http://rxwei.me/about/ . From the committer list, it looks like Dan Zheng is the only individual who is actively working on it, and he's was an intern until he formally started January 2019. I don't know the ins and outs of Google culture, but it looks at least like every senior engineer has moved onto something else.

Doesn't mean Swift for Tensorflow is dead. Could mean Swift for Tensorflow will properly support Metal soon :-D

There are medium sized teams at Google for each of MLIR and s4tf. There's a weekly open design meeting for each of them. Many different folks have presented their work at both meetings.
