1.5 conversions are being organized and picked up again. I took a hiatus from mods while working on Soartex 2.5, a vanilla revision/remake update. GoldBattle has cleaned up and split out the 1.4 mod repository into an archive branch and 1.4 branch. I cleaned up the 1.5 repo, and am currently rewriting the patcher's mod list for 1.5. Unused unstitcher configs will be implemented very soon, and I'll be preparing a more aimed pack at Tekkit.
@Kazekai: GoldBattle fixed it yesterday.
@Aetherr_: Mhm, someday... Sorry, I don't know when someone will get around to it. But someday.
@ChaosRain: Many vanilla textures are not completed, but many have been added in the 2.4 and upcoming 2.5 update. Armor hasn't been made yet. I know, lots of mod textures when vanilla isn't complete... I've had too much fun with mods, someone else can make armor.
