2: I'd love for people to jump in and help out - and I've asked. Besides working on the kernel code, help with things like documentation, userspace tools and the website would really make a big difference. But I'm ok with doing development by myself for now, it's not a dealbreaker.
3. Probably indefinitely, but I'm getting tired of eating ramen, you know? I'm working on bcachefs full time, and have been for quite some time.
4. For going upstream? That's a long ways off, for a variety of reasons - a big one is that I don't want to freeze the on disk format until the main features are at least mostly done, and finishing snapshots is quite a ways off.
But it's plenty stable enough to use now (what I'm hearing from users is that it already appears to be more solid than btrfs). Also, I think I'm going to prioritize multiple devices and replication (and possibly start on erasure coding) after I finish off compression, so that'll come sooner rather than later.
